Veterans of War

Veterans of War

A Poem by Akshay

Veterans of war
Settle the score
Blood on their hands
To give their children support
A million deaths, no report
Time to be honest, with each passing day corruption sores

Veterans of war
Killing for hope
Saving our country across the shore
A body with no soul
No assurance as they walk out the door
Time to be honest, is this the country they fought for?

Veterans of war
Our country's a w***e
We kill for money, oh we kill some more
No salvage for our godless minds
When will it all again be pure?
We won't let this end like this, this will be swallowed nevermore.
