For 75 years, Forces charity Veterans Aid has been supporting former servicemen who have fallen on hard times. Contrary to popular belief, their time in the Forces is rarely the cause but can be part of the solution. Read It Here Click the above logo to be taken to their web site.
(RG) This is a fantastic charity please help if you can no matter how small the donation. The way things are going any of us could end up God forbid in a homeless position, we may be homeless but we will always have friends who care. This is a poem that I wrote about a homeless ex British soldier.
Shuffling down the street trying to keep warm
The water was in his sock now, his boots seen better days
As he had many moons ago when bristling with pride and youth
Now hunched against a railway bridge his collar chaffed his neck
Smiling down at him a Labour poster promising him a future
Laughing he coughed up flem and spat it at Browns face
Trying to stand pain shot up his spine
His mind propelled back in time
Top cover in Basra a road side bomb `BANG` it all went black
Rain lashed the veteran’s face as he limped into the emptiness
Looking back at the flem he giggled like he did in the block
"Shot Over," "Splash Over" he was happy for a while.
