Gurkhas - Real Hero's

The Gurkha's, warriors from Nepal
Who fought many battles, where many fell
They gave their lives
To a cause far from home
To protect and serve the British Throne
 
We seem to admit so many immigrant races
Who take the places of many Gurkha faces
These Real Hero's won the Victoria Cross
To fight and serve their British Boss
 
Having served our country, they are sent back home
Some have no house, they can only roam
The campaign for settlement, not a lot to ask
As they fought for us, a quite incredible task.
 
The Second World War and the Falklands too
But not just these two conflicts, but for centuries two
Their are many regiments in armies of this world
Who would be proud to have, these Gurkha's serve
 
Our government act for the people
We vote them in, if there able
Its time they did whats right and just
Gurkha's to be Nationals, its a credible must.

Nice Rhyme. I will have to look up the Gurkha to see exactly what they are though. Keep writing. Sara
