Vets are
war's debris, the wreckage after.
Even as we honor those who died,
The amputees, the traumatized, the
drifters
Endure for us the wounds that saved our
lives.
Remember them at tax time and when
voting;
Allocate what amply meets their
needs.
No obligation is more plain or
pressing,
Shining like a spotlight on our
dreams.
