The Government Left Them to Die

Leave me alone
Angry Veteran

On a black shirt
Stretched across broad shoulders

Cornucopia of pill bottles
Clustered together
Next to a nine millimeter

The mirror reflects
The man he once was

A young soldier
Uninjured by war

Nearly once and hour
A veteran dies by suicide
