Homeless Veteran Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Disappearing into the sunset, no one to miss me, no one bothering
to look for me, a non-existent entity with no where to go, hiding
right out in the open yet no one sees me here.

Not wanting to be asked for help by a homeless man needing some
food and a place to rest his head, yet, having sacrificed my life
in order to protect Americans from enemies foreign and domestic.

No one here to open their hearts for this homeless Veteran,
falling asleep beside a dumpster filled with garbage, how do you
think that makes me feel?

Nothing to show for my service, benefits taken away and given to
muslims, refugees, Syrians, illegals; where is the justice, liberty
and freedom that we Veterans gave our lives for, can anyone tell me?
