As a matter of control
Let’s stroll down memory lane
I hate backseat driving
But I love to look out the window
Trees pass
And I know they’ll eventually fall
And that a Captain will go down with his ship
No questions at all
What about the passengers?
A silent or violent protest
Won’t contest the situation at all
So enjoy the ride
At least the sky
Is blue.
Tyler Carroll was born into a military family and reluctantly enlisted after a failed attempt at college. After his time in the service, where he received numerous awards, he obtained a Bachelor’s in Business and is working on an MFA in Writing. While doing so, he co-founded an independent publishing company, Dead Reckoning Collective. DRC's first poetry anthology, In Love... & War, became a #1 New Release on Amazon. Tyler had a handful of poems included in that anthology. Between writing and running a business, Tyler is a husband, father of 3, and full-time firefighter in a suburb of Dallas, TX.
