Our People
There they are. Fighting. Fighting for us,
Fighting to keep us safe. To keep the United States "united"
After all thats what we are, isn it?
Young men and women eighteen and up, putting their lives on the line, and for what?
So that when they come home, even though for many there is no home
We give little thought to them, we put our own people
Men and women who leave to keep us safe, out on the streets with little to eat or drink
They should the have right to come back to a home
The right to drink at 18
Yeah theres alot of controversy over the right to drink at 18
So what?
They can die for us
Protect us
Serve with dignity, loyalty and pride
But they cant drink?
This is a right these men and women should have
This is the right our people, OUR SOLDIERS should have
Something wrong with this poem?
