I’m not a beggar or a thief
Or a tinker or a tailor
I don’t wander the streets
Committing heinous crimes
All it is that I seek
Is a warm bed –
Something to eat
I’m not a cowed, a broken man
Who does not have a story
I have a past like everyone
My past was one of glory
Of comrades now who’ve gone
Destroyed by their loyalty
To an ungrateful nation
Who abandoned us once home
I fought the fight endure the pain
And yes I’d do it all again
So please when you walk on by
Don’t simply judge me –
By where I lie
For just like you I have a soul
My pride and self-respect remain
And while we may not be the same
You may think I’ve paid my dues
And always remember –
I am a human just like you
Well said, David ❤
