Veteran Poem by Brian Roe
Veteran
Rating: ★5.0
Look at these dirty hands
that society cant see
love and hope are simple demands
yet pity is all that's given me
I once defended our great land
now the welcome is gone
and all I have is a welfare brand
for ears that echo the battle song
The diluted payment I fought for
takes all I am to extort
from a government that's headstrong
