 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

Just finished watching the filming
Always a Warrior, "Wrong Side of Heaven!"
Tears running down my cheeks
Yes a Veteran can cry!
As he can fight for his country
The plight of the homeless Veterans
Coming home to no jobs
I was lucky Boeing Aircraft saved my job
Savings, Basketball scholarship, College in my future
But I came home prior to Viet Nam
The mess the Politicians have made of our economy
Dumocrats in charge but both parties of privilege
How things would change if they were responsible
Whose interest are legal drugs and tent cities
Paid their health care and Pensions ended
When it was shown they were no longer doing the job
The 99 percent pay their share of the taxes
Leave the royalties of Kings and Queens in Europe
But to see the plights of our Veterans
Homeless on the streets paying wages
To illegals and forgetting our own
It is time to take America back
and take away privilege from the one percent
One only has to view the film to see
the wrongs we do to our real heroes
Take care of our own and not the Worlds poor
Making sure the Heroin Addicts don't die
Should not be the priority of caring Americans
Give our heroes a job cleaning up the inner cities
Of filth, crime and senseless drug usage
