Homeless vets fill our streets dealing with addictions they cannot beat Stand on street corners begging for food Often standing with broken down shoes It makes me sad to see what happened to them Returned home to anger and hate from a war 40 years ago Tired not to let emotions show Our boys today come home with missing limbs and distraught minds Soldiers trouble adapting to normal lives Sometimes they just cannot survive Sick, hungry, and tired when they finally come for help Then they don't stay All they do is run away And go back to the streets Somewhere out there they still have families and friends who care Soldiers feel life on the streets is a burden to bare Its sad to see what happened to these warriors Reduced to life on the streets
