It Should Never Happen To a Vet
He was once
so very handsome
and wore
a fine moustache ..
But then
while out one day
clearing
bloody minefields ..
He got
his left leg blown
right off ..
And no one, has ever
noticed him
since then, end of ..

I never notice KP if she's around! lol.
that's because you have been programmed to think adversely about certain perfectly natural and likewise enjoyable things by Fido who I am beginning to think is pawtistic or something .. why not give him a bone or something .. I won't say a word to anyone 🙈🐧🐁
Absobloodylutely, Nev.
There are nothing but casualties - the only fruits of war.
..................... exactly .. thank you Dave
reality's sobering, unpoetic
essential Poesy
as exemplary, conduit
spotlighting our ugly, that
we so try to pretend and hide
in our convolutedly bankrupt
society...
thank you! dear Poet
for not letting us get away with it
some things just need to be stipulated, don't they my friend
Vets of any war are often forgotten - -- shame on the system that uses and then refuses responsibility - -- makes your heart cry out for justice dont it mon ami. ?
sadly its a human thing .. it doesn't seem to matter who or what you are, as soon as you have served your purpose, even hero's become darn near invisible .. thanks for your understanding Fay .. x
Vets are often forgotten here in america as well. There is a charity to stop veteran suicides. Sad poem but well done!
thank you Christina8 .. thinking of changing the title to 'it shouldn't happen to a vet'
Yes I think that is quite nice
Emotive words Neville and so very true, they get forgotten in life after they have given all for the country.

It is not only shameful, its a crying shame isn't it sir
