The Line

The line

The unbreakable line

Men and women provide

Volunteering, making up the stitches for those on the other side

Protecting America and preserving all its richness

Coming home wounded 

In both body and mind

Lives shattered by those they left behind

Now homeless or scraping to get by

They find America rich-less despite their sacrifice

Change the narcissism

The ungreatful crowd

Give them the benefits and security

Veterans have well earned

and the thank you deserved

For being the line
