Running newly to find a spot–
A spot of safety, for which they fought–
Fought against a deadly foe–
A foe that could not take their life.
Their life in jeopardy, here and now.
Now war follows them to their home.
Home in America, the home of the brave.
Brave men run for their lives.
Lives in the balance, in a stronghold–
A stronghold vulnerable amongst men–
Men who fight for their country–
Their countrymen now turning against them.
Stumbling along the sidewalk 
Sensitive portrayal of homeless Vets (this should not be), military personnel on food stamps (shameful) and those suffering from PTSD and the loss of limbs and/or vision. As a Veteran I’m especially attuned to the needs of my fellow Vets and those in the Military.
