WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO " NO MAN WILL BE LEFT BEHIND "

Folder: 
X - Files

street lamps form circles of light upon the darkened streets
a rainbow of gaudy neon glows from store windows
wanting you to buy this or that 
shadows move in the neon moonlight that leads to 
dark alleyways
lost in a world where they fell through the cracks of 
the system they once defended
two old vet's with flat eyes sit along the wall passing a fifth 
back a forth watching the whores mingle in the edge 
of light eyeing the traffic
their dignity sold by the hour to all that come

the one with the tat thats says Death Before Dishonor 

spends his nights clutching his stray dog 
who listens to his muttering as if it understands 
maybe it does 
the otherones ink simply says Semper Fi 

he  lays under a hand me down army blanket 
fighting the demons he can't share

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO " NO MAN WILL BE LEFT BEHIND "

Homeless vets. Yeah, left behind. Anger is not enough.
