Veteran's Day (USA)

Veteran's Day

In the USA

Thinking about Dad today,

My brothers,

Uncles,

In laws,

and

my forefathers, foremothers,

all victims of war.

They tried to run, tried to hide, tried to make nice.

Humans go to War.

Can we evolve beyond that?

When you hear of war for good

or betterment of people,

be suspicious.

Someone is being bettered,

monetarily, or power wise.

If another is bettered, say freed,

Is it sometimes an unintended positive outcome?

When War is over,

Do the victim survivors still hear the bombs?

Smell the Fire?

Feel the Mind Numbing pain

of seeing your best friend

still

lifeless,

beside you?

Yet another Whole in body,

returning with a fractured mind.

I am Thanking the Veteran's, Men and Women alike,

and those who kept the home fires burning.
