Fay Slimm - Protestation.

Now deaf from bad memory's fearful sounds,
Unyielding nightmares mean pressure abounds.
Re-living, over and over again.
What has awful warfare done to our men?

Inner respect has been taken away.
Now facing their battles from day to day.
Blinded from peace by the horrors of war.
What have these brave veterans been fighting for?
