The world has set the stage for the shining light on a hill - a prose poem. |
An Iraq War of reckless engagement, Not to be excluded or excised. A history of epic over-confidence And American resolve became Clumsily and incredulously tested; Post-World War II identified The superior wherewithal Of the most powerful military On the planet, And every global crap and idiocy Has since been privy to this nation’s Ineffective strategies And clueless involvements… That copious and needless drive Led to Afghanistan’s twenty year occupation… America’s freedom fighters And national interest keepers Of the world’s pulse Continued to spend trillions On the democracy seeking Of that troublesome And distant nation - They squelched the terrorist cauldron there Whose germinations may have culminated In attacks on the homeland, And brought a generation of warriors Who were outraged by 9-11 Attempting glorious payback To their unscrupulous and tragic recall Over the anniversary of those attacks For an obscene and deadly headline To end the careless And heartrending engagement… For conditions to improve Among the current three-ring circus Of conflicts - Europe’s Russian invasion of Ukraine, Israel’s complete and competent override Of incalculable bloodshed on their soil, And economically dismal China’s Oncoming takeover of the island of Taiwan - The U.S. must look inward towards its citizens And promote justice for Their chaotic living standards; The freedom prioritized by the shining light On the hill of this sacred Earth Must first be guaranteed that all global currencies Be transacted continually in U.S. dollars Prior to conversion to foreign currencies, And then solve conflicts abroad Through stabilization of impact On worldly inception based on timely And assured objectives Which are well within reach! As for the nation’s heroes and proud veterans, The calculations of the government’s Sacred honor and commitments To its allies abroad shall remain At the wise disposal Of a commandeering and structured collection Of political and military leaders and generals, Whose requirements are met Through bold and unafraid justice seekers Who are honored to serve this nation And wear the uniform of the Land of Freedom And Stars and Stripes; To serve is an honor of distinction And norms for millions of proud And glorious families, Including their wise and disciplined Sons and daughters - A continuation of stellar distinction For this novel nation of experimental freedoms And liberties For all the planet’s determined expectations. |
