A Forgotten Soldier Poem by Phil Soar

His legs no longer useful, but his mind still at it's best
His dreams no longer valid, and his life in some distress
Abandoned by employers who did not see all the strife
Of someone who joined in the fight, and almost lost his life

The sadness of the injuries, has added to his grief
The loss of friends and colleagues, the loss of self belief
When help is all he really needs, and all the powers that be
Have left him on his own and lost in his recovery
