The Veteran

The Veteran (In Haiku Verse) I lost my poor soul In the jungle – in the sand Now I don’t fit in I walk down the streets No job, no home, no nothing Nobody sees me I’m begging for help For work, for lodging, for life Nobody hears me What have I become Where’s the me I used to be Didn’t he come back? I search and I search We were all there together Now I am alone I was in Albuquerque, NM and saw them on the street. They did not say a word to me but this is what I saw in their eyes. Mike
