The Veteran

Only the Veteran can know real peace For only he has seen the real War, Trapped forever it will haunt him, Pain seeping from his pores, He fights selflessly for better days to come Never realizing the murders, The years have made him numb Too numb to comprehend The pain he caused countless families, In his eyes though He was preventing major tragedies, A victim of a selfless act Waiting on his new lease, The veteran has witnessed true war, And because of that he'll never find true peace...
