Support Our Broken Heroes

They joined the forces, straight from school 
Some have even seen the world 
Many of them saw action 
In our turbulent world 

For some, their biggest battle 
A life on civvy street 
Struggling to juggle the money 
Finding it hard to make ends meet 

Gotta make your money count 
Some found this hard to do
Found themselves locked out 
Or in a squatters room 

Mental illness or PTSD
A wound no one can see
Battling forever inside the mind 
Maybe just words, to you and me

Some turned to drink or solvent abuse
To take the pain away
Once heroes of this nation 
Why should this remain 

Help our broken heroes 
They gave their lives for us 
Support for them should never end
No just, an add seen on a bus

I’ve never been in the services 
Just admired them from afar 
They shouldn’t be living on the streets 
Or, in an abandoned car

Support our broken heroes 
Bring them back to life
Please don’t cast these lost souls aside 
Reunite a husband or wife
