Unnamed Soldier

Unnamed Soldier

A Poem by Revolutionary
"

A soldier shot himself a t the Occupy Vermont Camp Yesterday.He was not mentioned on the national news.A arguement near the Occupy Oakland camp turned into a murder.All over the news.

"

They would not mention his name today on the morning news.

A military man,back from Iraq,felt he had nothing left to loose.

He had fought in the name of a false flag chained to a machine gun.

Here at home he felt he lost everything and everyone.

The 99% of human life heard this soldier die

They flood the Burlington Streets with the tears of Occupy.

The evening news will still refuse to mention him by name,

while Veterans Day bursts into parades to end the wars that still remain.

Prophets will debate a single date to usher the end of time.

Occupy Oakland makes headlines for a senseless random crime.

This Nameless Soldier whose blood still stains Burlington City Park.

Will celebrate his veterans day alone and in the dark.

I call out in his Unknown Name to all you soldiers in the street.

March instead to Occupy the Tyrrany Of The War Machine!
