~ Veteran's Cry ~
Our symptoms are congruent,We're an army of one,
No deed of consent,
We shine like the sun,
Hidden illnesses,
Broken families confess,
Shattered dreams,
Multiple toxins, disease,
Exposure effects,
From ill-prescribed drugs,
We never stop fighting,
We're lions not dogs,
Spit on our uniforms,
And deny us our due,
We'll never stop fighting,
For each other... for you,
We are veterans,
We’ve earned the name,
We fight for freedom... not glory or fame,
Forgotten wars,
In freedom we acclaim,
I am a veteran,
God knows my name!
