[hometext] => By: E. Wayne Searles
[bodytext] => {Army Veteran} My anger seemingly a passion having been deeply seeded within At times it comes to the surface like a very haunting sin Unknowingly grieving stirred from pain dwelling deep inside Allowed to live a life but not allowed to hide Chemicals in this body given by an order I did not trust I was given no choice in my arm an experimental drug was thrust Many pills were taken in case chemical gas was used This was an experiment all of us soldiers were abused I am now two people both living together as one One day I am in a fit of anger other days I smile and love the shining sun Death is my worst enemy it haunts me every damn day No matter what I do its shadows just won’t go away Society is just not the same like it was before I went to war Seeing many awful things the brain was not ready to store Living this way for 25 years before any doctors truly had a clue All soldiers are expendable at least it’s our governments view So I cry a silent pain because I don’t want any of you to hear I just dwell within my inner anger not allowing my eyes to shed a single tear I manage to find control something not all Veterans can find It doesn’t mean I am healed if you think that, then you are blind Many Veterans take their life because of not knowing which way to turn They get tired of the inner pain from within, all it does is burn So this anger a subliminal passion within the likes of me I wish it were not there I wish it were not available for others to sometimes see So I live this life not having any regrets at all I served my country proud now they let all of us Veterans fall Lie after lie nobody wants to take any of the blame I deal with the way I am now trying not to have any shame Dear God give me strength to fight the pains I have every day Dear God stand by every Veteran because they have so much to say Written: 3 February 2016 Copyright © 2016 E.
