Who Weeps

Who weeps for the soldier in battle brave yet afraid of the dreams left behind when peace was gained and lost again? Who weeps for the children with faces on the carton runaways missing love, hope and dreams promised the day they were born? Who weeps for the mother once loved now lost, alone in despair left with the child needing care? Who weeps for the old and alone dreaming of family long grown and no place left to go? Who weeps for the promises made and unkept by the government's poor attempts at speaking and representing the public? Who weeps for the poor, the depressed, the desperate losing all hope of the American dream slipped away with no way to start again? We weep, you and I questioning how easily freedom is lost paying again and again, the price and every cost.
