Operation Just Cause
...for as long as it takes
The Wall Revisited
by GunBunny
Where have all the people gone
That used to stand at night
Who stood the watch upon The Wall
With those who fought the fight?
There used to be so many
I could see each way I'd face
But tonight The Wall was silent
As to memories I paced...
No vets, no tourists, no breathing soul
Was present in my haze
Just me and the driver who got a ticket
As I sobbed alone and traced.
Where are they now those brave young men
Who swore they'd stand so tall
That NEVER would a sobbing vet
Alone come face The Wall?
I'm glad I came alone this night
Because next week you see
I would have drug a friend along
Who's a lot worse off than me.
The Walking Dead are walking still
And will for years, I'm shown
Until they finally face THEIR wall
But they can't go alone.
So stand aware, you vets and friends
The lone wolf comes one night
To face HIS hell so I hope you're back
To stand his six in the fight.
