.:Mission Admonished:.
two wars
10 plus years
that’s alotta damn tears
alotta bud, alotta beers
the way it went down
the way the treasure got spent
the way the facts
the way they got bent
all of it.. how it all went
~that-a-way~
and now its the fade away
and some would say
some went above and
beyond the call
some of ‘em, we just
watched ‘em fall
slouched over here & there
ain't none of it fair
tripping along the surface
looking ill-advised and nervous
this set, this deal
~it’s so surreal~
the homeless..
ask ‘em how they feel
benefits on appeal
come on now; be for real
another ex-troop
him caught in the loop
fucked up cause he can’t get situated
demeanor a bit agitated
in & out of the line
soon to do time because
patience..
its all but gone
wrung out for a song
fact is, it’s all wrong
but that’s how it is
the tour, the twin war
tell us what the hell for?
all of it kinda jaded
now how would you
grade it?
