    I've wondered for years... How? Why?
    Parkinson's Disease, Itching burning rashes, changes in my personality, my ability to reason...
    Recently I've learned...
    An insidious cloud of Sarin crept into my life
    "On Little cat's feet"
    And did irreperable Harm
    Recently I've learned...
    Depleted uranium penetrators
    That vaporized upon impact
    Alpha particles; inhaled into my lungs...
    byproducts of those "horrible shower of sparks"
    All those destroyed tanks & vehicles I cleared
    And did irreperable harm
    Recently I've learned...
    Progesterone Bromide the magic nerve agent antidote
    Highly experimental...
    that made you highly susceptible to pesticides.
    And did irreperable harm
    Recently I've learned... the how
    Will I ever learn the why?
