MONEY

There is always a catch

To everything in life

Nothing is as it seems

Nothing is real

Money rules the world

It is the root of power

It corrupts

All

The VA is a safety net

For those who served

But the net is full of holes

For many are lost

It seems

That the only good veteran

Is a dead veteran

To the VA

If they stall long enough

The veteran will give up or die

And this saves the government

MONEY

It is all about money
