It Should Never Happen To a Vet

                                                                             I was once
                                                                      so very handsome
                                                                              and wore
                                                                       a fine moustache
                                                                                but then
                                                                      when out one day
                                                                               clearing
                                                                      bloody minefields,
                                                                              I got my
                                                                          leg blown off
                                                                   and no one has ever
                                                                            noticed me
                                                                      since then, end of ..

This is a brutally honest poem about trauma and without wanting to sound distasteful, the format you have written this in just adds impact to the piece. I could not imagine the effects of such a life altering experience. The layers of trauma left that others don’t care to see. I think you wrote a piece here that does hit the reader hard. This reality has a very ugly truth hiding in plain sight. Clever Nev xx
