Disabled Veterans National Foundation, Baghdad Pets & Quadriga Art Poem by Luke Easter

Almost $100 million raised between these two charities,
Since a scam is still a scam when fueled by insincerities,
Raised & distributed to vets is almost $100 million apart,
Based solely on the marketing concepts of Quardiga Art.

How the U.S. Government could allow this firm to scam,
Fighting men & women soldiers, where is our Uncle Sam?
Injustice that's so outrageous how in the hell did it begin?
Question: Why was the nation made aware of it by CNN?

'Military Intelligence' an oxymoron of the highest degree,
CIA, FBI, Democrats and Republicans, first saw it on TV,
Prosecute Rodger Clemons and the likes of Barry Bonds,
Blood & guts of Veterans flows, where are the Tampons?

You've seen commercials with Terri Crisp check the logs,
Over $26 million raised and yet less than one dozen dogs,
Have been reunited with combat soldiers serving overseas,
As these ads still vibrate requesting more donations please,

Then there's the DVNF & the $56 million they've acquired,
Like Baghdad Pets the mega-bucks Quadriga Art was hired,
Oh! These million dollar figures are actually larger amounts,
Whereas, plenty of cash has gone missing in the actual count.

As well over $2 billion has been raised to help disabled vets,
And squandered into the coffers of fund raisers with no regret,
Nickel & dime how much political contributions are received,
Millions stroll through the system powered by deceit & greed.

2,600 bags of cough drops,11,520 bags of coconut M&M's,
To, 'Alabama Veterans Charity St. Benedict' reported CNN,
J.D. Simpson, 'they also sent 2,200 little bottles of sanitizer, '
In bulk costing lest than a pizza and a six pack of Budweiser.

The Fisher House, Hero Miles, USO, Wounded Warrior Wives,
Adaptive Adventures & Semper Fi Fund, promoting better lives,
Tens of millions of dollars raised while Veterans barely get by,
'Home of the Brave' needs charitable assistance tell me why?

Would it not make sense for actual Veterans to man the phones?
Now every dime, nickel & penny collected would stay at home,
Put these x-soldiers on a salary & not commission basis for pay,
Therefore, no scam artists via unscrupulous tactics can get away.

Anyone surprised there has been no government intervention?
As there's no doubt regarding the thieves fraudulent intention,
Some Vets are confined in wheelchairs & some are even blind,
Upon being discovered why is there never any serious jail time?

I cannot figure out a single excuse nor any other rhyme or reason,
Those guilty should be prosecuted to the stature of High Treason,
Because it's not like their families were hungry so they stole bread,
These agencies trample the disabled & stomp on graves of the dead.

The Lion had no heart, the Tin Man no courage, the Scarecrow no brain,
While the Armed Forces combines all three in combat is this not insane?
Disabled Veterans National Foundation, Baghdad Pets & Quadriga Art,
Shares not one on these qualities as they are not miles but Planets apart.
