The Lone Veteran

Visions unendurable
Thoughts not erasable
Tracers of red
Running through my heard

Yellow smoke for the dust off
Brings tears
Death and destruction
Memories of loss

Haunting images
Ghosts haunting me
Blood on my hands
Unable to clean

Youth destroyed
By war
Hate and anger
Unknown to me

Until The War

Tribute To All Veterans on
Veterans Day
