Attention

Attention. Attention?
Can I bring something to your attention
22 military suicides a day
In a year, that makes 8 thousand
Why has this been kept a secret?
How is no one talking about this?
Thanks, thanks for your service
Now die, die in silence
You didn’t die on their battlefields
So you won’t be front page news
In fact, they won’t mention you at all
It’s like they’ve already forgotten you
Why has this been kept a secret?
How is no one talking about this?
Thanks, thanks for your service
Now die, die in silence
Why are we too blind to notice
A system that breeds broken men
A Purple Heart is a promise
And we’ve turned our backs on them
Thanks for your service
Now die in silence
