They don't give a f..ck
about the poor veteran
down on his luck
that sits on the corner
brandishing a can
being ignored
by each passing man
He once was like them
he had some pride
before bombing and shelling
destroyed something inside
he once stood in line
was clean on parade
now hides in the gutter
seeking the shade
cold and shivering
one last request
give me a tenner for
the medals on my chest
you can add them
to the collection
an evidence of the broken
ready for inspection
