Why does our government pass up our Vets to give homes to illegals from other lands What kind of choice is that its definitely in the wrong peoples hands
So many are homeless and dont have a job to survive Mainly because of problems in their heads wondering each day why they are still alive
Suicide rates are up Veterans are taking their lives at a very high rate Coming back from war losing their families and any idea of positive fate
Many soldiers have seen deaths door images forever stored in their mind Struggling a fight within having no way to unwind
We need to stand for our Veterans as they have knocked on deaths door for us all We need to start housing our Veterans not the illegals that make it across the border wall
War is an ugly creature it scars so many that have to fight Lets take care of our very own giving them a home to sleep in at night
God bless any man or women that has taken the oath and fought for our land May each and every one of us reach out and give our Veterans a loving hand

The least anyone can do is have compassion --especially on those who went into harms way. God bless our Vets and our Nation. |

There is no question that we must give back to those
who went into harms way, ever...
Doesn't matter how much it takes, it would never
should never be too much...
On a different score, the folks who cross through the devils nightmare of a desert to work in the fields and be underpaid
Are real people as well. We must not turn our backs on them, but rather, figure out a way to help them.
I'd rather we helped people in the America's than so far away. There is so much we could do but don't.
Why do you think they try to get here, those living in poverty, why do they sacrifice so much?
There is so much here we, all of us collectively have not done here in our own land.
No we should never turn our backs on the men and women who served our country --- and for little pay.
Great poem, because it's a reflection on what has been missing here in this country for far far too long!
Thanks my friend!
Peace! |
