Once was a Hero

skirmish pet food fawm woke up jumped on computer at 6 wrote some lyrics - saw it was 6.08 i think thats a record even for me!
He was once a hero
revered by all around
But soon was all forgotten
Well Thats what he found
His money it was soonl gone
He couldn’t make ends meet
He’d given all that he’d got
now was just plain beat
He fought for our freedom
Nearly gave it all
Now he sits all alone
Feels like another fool
He had to give his dog away
Coudn’t afford pet food
The local kids banged on his door
theywere always rude
How did it all come to this
It really isnt fair
I guess that when we look at it
we didn’t care
He fought for our freedom
Nearly gave it all
Now he sits all alone
Feels like another fool
He fought for our freedom
Nearly gave it all
Now he sits all alone
Feels like another fool
Feels like another fool
So sad and poignant. An interesting take on the prompt. Nicely done.
