  A VETERANS RESPECT


When politicians leave this earth,
Their bodies lie in state,
While thousands note their passing,
And proclaim that they were great.
 
Papers tell of their life stories
From the time that they were young
But the passing of a
Soldier Goes unnoticed, and unsung.
 
Is the greatest contribution
To the welfare of our land,
Some jerk who breaks his promise
And cons his fellow man?
 
Or the ordinary fellow
Who in times of war and strife,
Goes off to serve his country
And offers up his life?
 
The politician's stipend
And the style in which he lives,
Are often disproportionate,
To the service that he gives.
 
While the ordinary Soldier,
Who offered up his all,
Is paid off with a medal
And perhaps a pension, small.
 
It  is not the politicians
With their compromise and ploys,
Who won for us the freedom
That our country now enjoys.
 
Should you find yourself in danger,
With your enemies at hand,
Would you really want some cop-out,
With his ever waffling stand?
 
Or would you want a Soldier--
His home, his country, his kin,
Just a common Soldier,
Who would fight until the end.
 
For when countries are in conflict,
We find the Soldier's part
Is to clean up all the troubles
That the politicians start.
 
If we cannot do him honor
While he's here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give him homage
At the ending of his days.

In my almost 80 years, there has never been one politician that has deserved the respect We owe to the lowest ranking Veteran in any branch of our military, that has served in any war defending our freedom. Pay them the respect they have earned!
 
Enjoy the freedom we have left, before the present Political Administration finishes destroying what we have left.   Texas Bob
