Found Poem

For my found poem, I chose to use an article titled “Liberal Professor Wants Activists to be Considered Veterans, Afghanistan Veteran Responds” from Dailywire.com. I chose this article as my subject because of the fact that it really got me very angry and annoyed that any professor would think that this would be a good idea to say. The professor had put this thought out on Twitter, and when people got wind of it, it went viral.

A USMC veteran who lost both of his legs as a bomb technition in Afghanistan responded to the professors thoughts, echoing what I think most people thought about what the professor said. The vet was clearly annoyed at this thought, calling it “Pretty laughable”. He also stated “These men and women — these GI Joes, GI Janes — they are regular people. They didn’t go to private school, they didn’t get their feelings hurt at the unfairness of things, they chose to serve their country, and they chose to do something that truly transcends these tit for tat politics that we play here in this country. To say this term applies to everyone who might get upset and hold up a sign somewhere, that doesn’t make any sense at all.”

What I included in my found poem are little important bits from the article, somewhat out of order, just to give the reader the things that really popped out and evoked a reaction out of myself and others who read the article.

  1. Chelsie,
    I strongly believe that people somehow forget about the crucial things these veterans have to go through. I think the words you kept, showcased really well that these people go through a lot. For example, the statement”Individuals who stand up” and “Defend our country”. These stood out to me the most and left a big message. This is something I believe that people take for granted and I hope that one day, these types of people realize the pain that our veterans go through so we don’t have to.
