It's a Bad Condition

For everything i've seen and done Nothing will compare Soldiers taking there own live every week This surely is not fair They were trained to the highest degree British soldiers pride is the best Unfortunately governments disagree And let them be laid to rest If they had helped these soldiers out Veterans wouldn't scream and shout Something better needs to be done Or unnecessary deaths will just go on The UK is not alone it's happening across the pond But one thing veterans always have is that military bond So come on politicians do what is right Spend money on after care and not just the fight I know there are things like TRIM While the soldier is away But does this really help him When living day to day CBT is the way to go Coping mechanisms put in place So his mind can but grow Demons come in last place I know they have to shout for help This shouldn't be the case More support given before they yelp And not just in their Base They are not mental They are not weak Support is instrumental An understanding what they seek No nightmares if they do sleep Hypersensitivity all but gone The feeling of dropping into the deep Is not where they belong They deserve the help that they need Written in the soldiers creed Support and wellbeing is a must So come and join stop being unjust
