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
