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
