Fireworks

It's new years eve or bonfire night. Veterans hide away in fright They fear that they may crumble As the fireworks start to rumble Even if there tucked up in bed The flashes and bangs mess up the head Hot sweats, and uncontrollable  shaking It isn't fun that it's making Some just say your a party pooper Join us when were in our stupor The nightmares start, flashbacks come Yet again everyone have your fun These actions cause much distress Some more than others I confess The symptoms mentioned before Cannot hurt them that's for sure But in their head It's like being back On the edge under attack Rounds and rockets whizzing by That is why they break down and cry Organised events aren't so bad As that's a choice that can be had Its the ones that go off Willy nilly There the ones that make us silly Spare a thought at this time of year Bang less fireworks won't cause fear So use these types if you can Think about that veteran It's not just them this affects It even frightens house hold pets I'm not trying to stop your fun But think about others it needs to be done
