Another Wall? The Vietnam Veterans Had to wait years, for their “Wall” We’ve finally learned to do it right For those, who answer “the call”. Now we have one for Iraq And, Afghanistan, too To Honor those, who gave all Because that is what, they do. That “call to arms” is answered (Although, not always right!) They stand Proud, for our Nation And, they take up, the fight. Like, in all wars, some will return (Forever changed, in Heart and Mind!) They still look like, they always did (Though, inside, they are, a different kind!) Far too many of them, won’t come Home And loved ones, know how much we’ve lost Because the greed and hate in Man Has such, a high, high, cost. Each day, we should give them, “Thanks!” And pray, someday, there’ll be no “Walls” That, Mankind can learn to live in Peace And, there will be no more, “wartime calls”.
