On 'Veterans Day'

Veteran's Day, the double-edged sword

the atrocities of war

OUR people 

defending US


the potential sacrifice

is a life

on both ends

a life is lost

someone's life will be the cost


thank you for your service 

the putting up of your own life for mine

despite the cause

despite the orders

defenselessness is not an option

cause as much as we all acknowledge Einstein as a genius

lesser men decided not to listen


whatever your beliefs, thank a Veteran.
