Fallen Heroes - Lonely

Lonely
Poem by David Ormiston
Ill Gulf War Veteran

I walk about life’s a dream, how can I let off this steam.

Go for a ride or a run, no I don’t think it would be much fun.

I used to watch the telly lots, but even that has gone to pots.

I went to college to learn I.T. but even that got the better of me.

The dog looks at me she wants to walk, all I want is her to talk.

I go upstairs, I stop, I look which way was down, which way was up.

Please give me back my life again; maybe then I will stop treating people with distain.

Injections here tablets there, do these people really care, no I don’t think they do, otherwise we wouldn’t have to sue.

I don’t feel sorrow, I do feel pain, don’t forget me, and I’ll be back again.
