Response to Dear Abby’s Christmas poem
Death from the cold with in tells just how far selfishness and greed are hand in hand. It just amasses me how such a mental person can read something in the paper and have it bring words to my fingertips. Day after day I write opinion letters for the safety of the public editors censor. Dear Abby so elegantly in her poem today tells a story of four men each with a stick of wood and the reason on such a cold night they did not put it in the fire. They did not die from the cold air but from the cold with in. It is all wrapped up in the joy and praise the returning US Military veterans are getting as they set foot on US soil again. The joy and praise soon disappear as the uniforms are disregarded and life as a civilian begins. The mind as the years continue, feels and sees the experiences-disabilities that the silent oaths to be a member of this civilized society obligate us to secretly take. Some deal with it as not to affect the loved one’s around them. Some deny they even exist. The memory is real as each US citizen that refuse to put his stick on the fire for selfishness and greed restrict society to see the needs of the returning US Military as their years pass.
People are scared of me not for my letters but because our trusted government officials want the public to be afraid. Each person in the USA holds a stick for the fire to stop government wrongs. The people are afraid of government retribution or losing what they have achieved in society, their stick. What the police and government are doing to me is too out-rigorous to be true. Stopping a 100% disabled US Veteran’s medical care for combat related disabilities will never happen in the USA: but it did in my case and many others. The people see that the NH Supreme Court violated the Constitution to take my stick and inflict persecution and character assignation to push me out in the cold. My stick is still burning in the fire for volunteering to help others is my reason to live. The joy Meghan Pierce writes in the Sunday news correspondent that 12 year-old Calle Walton brings to others in her three years, as a volunteer is a stick slowly disappearing in the USA. Family, friends and the public are afraid of Veterans not because of being veterans but because the government wants you to be. The homeless or the one’s incrassated that adjustment to a civilized society never was achieved the government wants the public to be afraid of for fear the cost may be their stick. Baggage comes in many forms but can a person like Calle remind us volunteering with a hand out can be a stick that save the USA. Disabled or any US Military Veteran are citizens that just did uncivilized acts trying to keep others sticks in the world burning.
My stick does not matter. I continue so Calle and the rest of the world can have a better place in life. My death will not be from with in but from the cold. The cold heart of the editors for censoring my opinion letters telling of the selfness and greed of our government officials. The joy of Christmas shines as I sit next to the runway watching the horizon lights from the ordinance dropped on others.
Thank You Dear Abby my stick burns for you and all the others in the world.
