Fallen

Cruising down I-45, my heart witness something  very profound that altered my mood, it was a gray overcast, on post and still standing at attention, holding a crooked sign,  â€œUS Vet, in need, please can you help”.  I was dumbfounded and somewhat taking a back, in my mind, this may perhaps be me, there was a time when I thought to join the Army. Faster than the speed of sound, I and an army of civilians, flew right by him, mistaken the fallen soldier, for a pile of road kill.

Very, apologetic  I fell deep in thought as I reflected, I ventured  to assume after the war this man is not equip to protect himself from the realities of his after life, some bodies else’s ideals of the war must have been an easier fight. May be he had something to fight for, but, what will trigger Us to go into battle and fight this man's  war. I not sure but 2 cents won’t cost you a dollar. It’s time for Us to enlist, take an oath and solemnly swear , to care for our fallen soldiers.

Wow! Deep! I feel you. Once thought of standing on a corner with sign: "Great-Grand of Ex-Slave. Help! Then it hit me. Here's another poor soul duped into being enslaved in somebody's else profiting war; and now left with not a pot to...and so many look just like me. Thanks for sharing this powerful, prickly pen. Peace and Love, mlowe5.
