Homeless Veteran

Homeless veteran I served my country for the queen When I left bad things I have seen My life was turned upside down People look at you with a disgusting frown They did not know what I had done A few years ago I carried a gun On the streets I did live Begging for money of people who would give Pain I felt everyday Wishing it would go away I hit the drink and the drugs So I couldn't feel the bugs Finding the place to lay my head Every night wishing I was dead Find a cardboard box or a doorway if you haven't done it you've nothing to say It's a rough world on them streets Fighting begging to make ends meet I didn't realise people out there The brotherhood really do care I was lucky someone found me Picked me up of my broken knee Gave me a bed and not just rugs They supported me of the drugs And now that I'm on the way Taking it day by day I must really thank my friends Now that past life is at end .
