Once was a war, the worst we’d had
With consequence both bad and sad
Most of our men who truly tried
Did all they could before they died !
LINCOLN’S ADDRESS TO THE NATION WAS 11/19/1863
THE WOUNDED ( 2015 ) 2015/03/28
It is much fun to walkabout
To run and skip and laugh and shout
How easily we make the case
That all of us wear the same face !
But do we know that this is true
Examples set by me and you
No two alike, no two the same
Each, disability to claim.
We’re not all blind, but shackled are
By speech that blames chaos afar
Who ever dreamt that there would be
A world crammed with war amputees !
