A War Never Ends by Thelma N Shutters Wednesday, March 19, 2003 Share Print Save Become a Fan
A WAR NEVER ENDS We forget the consequences Which may result from a war We could have no defenses That each veteran has in store The suffering they may endure When end of war is declared For diseases that has no cure Many will never receive care Recently my little brother died Of agent orange related disease Because we sprayed pesticides In another land across the seas Myeloma, asbestos then pct Shortened my brothers days A tragic death we had to see Till our brother passed away Gulf war syndrome most recent Brain damage we can not repair Many to the Balkans were sent Now for life under doctors care Chemicals with toxic radiation Deadly uranium some exposed We sent them to a destination A veterans fate no one knows We may think a war is ended If a soldier comes home safe Though we never comprehend Still death might be their fate Everyone should see first hand In hospitals for our service men Then maybe we will understand That for many a war never ends Written By Thelma Shutters 3-19-03

This for me holds a powerful message war doesn't ever end. The loss is so overwhelming.

We live with pollution every day. The same atrocities are here in the good old USA. Just read a food lable. This is a thoughtful work. Having 8 family members in the service, I can appreciate. ~E

Dear Thelma, This was a true and caring write. There are two out patient clinics I attend one is the VA hospital, the other is for mental illness. The Gulf war vets are unanimous in there thoughts. Look what that war did to me!! Tony
