"Being Un-Prepared" (short essay)

“One must consider – combat conditions require a controlled anger – this cannot be taught which is why we’ve so many useless cop killing before understanding what’s happening – sadly – many wear the badge and have no thoughts of environments – awareness of potential dangers – and thus 90% of non-combat veterans – police – common citizens would have done the same thing – sadly – I repeat – which is why us with PTSD having no claim on intelligence/brains – rush in where fools stay away – we’ve an advantage we’ve prepared ahead for almost every possible situation – we know who safe and who isn’t who has your six and whose run away. Controlled anger – then you come out alive when the odds are clearly against you – in any situation – great faith in Heavenly Father – and He always expects us to do our homework – boy scouts – be prepared – always – even when asleep – I could be sound asleep – Joyce would ask who’s up – and I would tell her and where they were in the home – and never wake up. Nothing can be done to train this – however, one can always be brave when carrying a weapon – but when the other person has one – it’s a different story. This is why if you’ve to think it out – you’ve already lost – simple and sure.’ c/ork

“Being Un-Prepared”

Reaction time is very unsafe

one has to think unclearly

giving time too much pause

too late still unable to move

then only cowardice prove

being up-prepared cause

having now to pay dearly

humanity amid hate’s strafe
