War its is over, but the battle? It has just begun…
\nNot lost just yet, while others elsewhere say the war is won,
\nTalk of “support the troops” means little to the veteran who lives on the street
\nHomeless soldiers lie and live underneath uncaring passing feet.<\/p>\n

You see, the bullets no more are flying
\nBut these men, they still are dying
\nWho no peace no where can find
\nFrom the wounded at battle mind…<\/p>\n

Those who sent them to war as if but pieces of chess
\nMake laws against the street people, thinking now of them less
\nBut had they died: their names remembered, read out in speeches would be
\nNo votes come from homeless veterans, mind wounded, we can see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
