Poem
Two of our have gone missing today Two guys from the corps sad to say The demons they have are strong Lets get these guys back where they belong This is happening more frequently now Veterans going missing Why? How? Something more needs to be done The battles they have, haven't been won More care and funding would be a start From society then they could feel a part They are not weird, strange or odd They are veterans part of a squad Removed from their familiar surrounds An alien country there in with unwanted sounds But no it is home they are at Not feeling normal how'd you fancy that Panic attacks and unwanted dreams No normality here or so it seems They say be strong stand and fight You can't see the enemy it's time for flight The enemy is not in far off lands Its in the head eating out of your hands They don't know what to do for the best Anxiety depression burning their chest Saddly one of the guys did pass The other still confused in the grass He cannot see the love all around He just wants to be on the ground I hope this chap is found safe soon He really needs help to find his moon His family and friends are worried sick This young man needs a gentle kick Get home young soldier your family await Find the love you deserve lose all the hate You are a veteran now please stand tall No more veterans need to fall R.I.P Jak I didn't know you at all I feel great sadness that you did fall My condolences to family and friends Hope they find comfort as your pain ends This shouldn't happen in this great land They should grow old hear marching bands But alas I know it allways will be Untill funding is found can't they see.
