As most of you know
We’ve felt the pain of loss
A grownup son
As most of you know
We now are three generations
Of military active duty
Though none of us in combat
As most of you know
My life’s work has been Defense
Good friends and colleagues
Killed in battle
Weeping, struggling families left behind
I weep inside, each Gold-Star parent’s loss
I take offense at Trump’s true lack of empathy
The only pain he feels
Concerns himself
And way down deep within his soul is emptiness
Trump’s lack of felt humanity
Incapable of feeling other’s pain
Is yet the biggest danger that I see
Writ large a holocaust by Trump, the man’s insane
