Prisoners of injury

by Henry Burt Stevens

10/28/2005


some no hand(s)
some no feet(s)
they may not be
looking for sympathy


but they sure could
use acknowledgement
for their
lifetime sentence


with no time off
for good behaviour
no chance for
a second trial


skip the presidential
pardon too


and sure as hell
don't say they
served a fabricated
lying war


unconditional service
is not about
anything but serving
regardless of the outcomes.

Henry,

They should could use acknowledgement for their service: shame! on the country for letting them down. Please keep speaking out for our veterans; I will, too.

TWO lone voices in the wilderness...

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
