a broken man
pennyless
with no place to call home
no hot meals
or family to rely on
his faith is gone
for himself and his nation
"so pitiful."
someone said to him
on the run down streets
of an unforgiving city
"don't you try?"
the Veteran came alive then
fire burned within his irises
melting the snow from the frozen asphalt
hanging the sun in the sky
"I have, as a matter of fact." he replied
voice mellow for someone so enraged
the outspoken voice
then dipped his head
and went about his day
with a flushed face
and torn pride
(if he even had any to begin with)
My submission for day ten of NaNoPoMo. This is based on a true event I have experienced, which still gets my blood boiling on ocassion.

I'm pretty sure if you scroll down beyond this point, on your right should be an option to manually remove "remove from this group" button or something like that.
