His Reason

The man,
Whose scars they laughed at;
He served in WWII;

Got two purple hearts;
Lost all his friends,
And suffers from PTSD;

Every time he closes his eyes;
He’s awaken by the screams,
Of soldiers losing limbs;

Every time he opens his eyes;
He’s horrified by the screams;
Of children frightened by his face;

If he can’t live in peace--
What’s the point of living.
