This is a piece of Slam Poetry that I wrote back in late July, after I saw a veteran out on the street being rejected a few quarters. So... enjoy? I'll probably tune this up and work on it, seeing as it's the first draft and definitely not a final, so please, give me any constructive criticism.

This is nothing, compared to the two people who influenced me to start writing, one of which wishes to remain anonymous. The other is a slam poet named Andrea Gibson, who can be found at AndreaGibson.org
