Topic:
war
|
From under a bridge, there he sits
Staring out to a world, a world with raging fists
A man of around seventy, no wife, no home
In Vietnam his face was erased
His name unknown
The guilt in his heart
The innocence in his mind
The memories of helpless cries
The slaughtering of innocent civilians
The dauntlessness in his eyes
It can be seen so well
For this man has no job
No sight
He was dazed in the war
His left leg amputated
He FOUGHT.....because the GOVERMNT TOLD HIM SO!!!
Now he " Bares no Arms"
In a world unforgiving and cold.....

I saw someone like that today, he had a sign that said "VFW (vetran From War) Homeless, Hungry, Jobless" It's like, they helped save OUR asses, can't we just help them have a home? A place to live? Money to feed and clothe themselves? Can't we help them stay alive?! |
