Poem 22 – A Letter From A Missing Veteran

poem22
America, do you remember me?
It’s been so long since I’ve been free.
Do you recall the years long ago,
When we were sent to a dreadful war?
 
Yes, we did not run, nor did we hide,
We fought for our country with all our might.
The tribulations and pains were met,
By American Veterans, please don’t forget.
 
But then our government left us behind,
So many of us they could not find.
Or is it just they don’t want to know,
What happened to us so long ago?
 
America, it’s now up to you,
Stand up and say, to our memory be true.
There must be a way to set us free,
And our family once more for us to see.
 
America, do you remember me?
It’s been so long, since I’ve been free.
