32 Veterans Passed So Far

32 have taken their own lives. Leaving behind, children, friends and wives How much longer is this to go on Devastating families is totally wrong No person should get to this state When they could just chat to a mate Asking for help is not a sign of weakness It's about sharing your bleakness Other ways to cope with this mess Admit that you are in distress Learn about breathing, and using your senses This will strengthen your defences That black dog that sits on your shoulder Let it know you were a soldier You are strong and can't be beat You are not ready for defeat My ask is that  everyone shares To show all affected somebody cares This is not a massive ask Go and see them take a flask Sit down with a listening ear Let them know you are here Have a chat and make a brew Chew the fat like you use too Being beside them is really great The true meaning of a mate If you do this simple thing You could stop heavens bar-bell  ring
