Oh, But It’s a Civilian Medal
“…the military will have served its purpose. All men will then be judged politically - regardless of their military record.”
-Commissar Razin in Doctor Zhivago
As veterans lie abandoned in the street
The President brags of military glory
The VA tells vets “Thank you for your service”
And shuts its polished doors against their pain
As veterans die abandoned in the street
A millionaire dies in a hospital suite
Clinging to himself his Medal of Freedom
His rosary of existential me-dom
As veterans die abandoned by a lie
The President’s motorcade slithers by
