Veterans' Lament

We veterans cannot dream dreams

Our trust, our vision, have been dismembered.

For we; - We few have been forgotten -- not remembered.

The House, the Senate, the Treasury foe,

They've broken the faith with venom aglow.

They've dropped the torch with penurious schemes,

We few, we angry few -- We shall not sleep.

Our ghosts farewell their trysts will keep,

We will remember Bill "C" seventy-eight.

For a brave revenge ne'er comes too late.

Destiny -- they cannot suspend their fate,

Our souls "no stab", but souls can kill

Such be our wrath, they surely will.
