Analysis of In Memoriam: Chris Kyle
His bravery inspired
a hero defiled
By one of his own
whose spirit disowned
All memory attacks
what never came back
‘from a war beyond
winning or losing’
The best of the best
too early to rest
His brothers in arms
—his first choosing
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
