Richard D. Preston

AMERICA’S MOST WANTED

Homes are empty, children unborn
Generations missing, hearts are torn
Lost but not forgotten, our Prisoners Of War
Shame on America, for this festering sore

These served with honor, yet have been turned aside
Where has it gone – America’s pride?
We were united; we were once strong
But these vanishing heroes have been gone to long

Could one imagine an existence like this;
Having your life forgotten – not being missed?
A number, a statistic, no future, alone
Consumed with the thoughts of getting back home

They share the same darkness;
They search the same stars
They stare at the same moon
wondering where their loved ones are

They experience the same pain
But to a greater degree
God open the Eyes of our government
Help our leaders to see
That we as a Nation
refuse to forget
Our MIA and POWs
America’s most wanted Vets

To us,
… They are America’s most wanted.
