Army Vet.

He died in an alleyway.

South Central L.A.

His dishevelled body

was only found by

a kid who kicks a ball up

the alley and went in to

retrieve it.

And stumbled upon him.

As he looked for his ball.

They did a check on his teeth.

And it turned out he was a local

man.

He was an Army Vet.

Who fought for his country

in many far of lands.

Came back home to dear old U.S.A.

And suffered from p.t.s.d and drank

too much alcohol.

Became homeless and ended up on the

streets. And that is where he died all

alone.

Until the little boy found him.

The Army Vets gave him a proper funeral

with guns salutes to pay their respects

to him for what he did for this great land.
