Sacrificed Poems - Poems about Sacrificed

Promised a honey baked life by Uncle Sam, a V.A. loan, and a mini-van. Three kids and a fenced yard. It should be attainable to those who worked so hard. They served, they sacrificed as mother's wept, came home to be forgotten to a government that's inept.. Our unsung hero's who fought gallantly, are supposed to be our nations first priority.....

Sacrificed Mother, where are you? You left me at the gate. You told me I was there to find my own way... alone. How will that help, the feeling of loss I have inside? How will that set straight all the evil that has passed, between us and among us. The stepfather... he "was" evil. He made...
