A Memorial Day tribute for the soldiers who gave their lives for freedom - a poem. |
The enduring gift of a true hero; These hearts of immense valor, humor, And compassion upheld the American flag With a noble and excellent resolve. The loss of these soldiers Recreates the vigor and humility Of a definitive reward… The proud and God-fearing Home of the Stars and Stripes Is the fortunate, Heaven-seeking gold Of able and just principles. Forever in perpetuity, Praise the privileged and ingenious works Of millions of businesses, charities, And volunteers who honor The distinguished enterprising Of courageous values In all their decency and glory. God bless the families And compatriots Who to this day avow a saddened, Yet holy presence In our nation’s history… Give your life an everlasting treasure - Those tens of thousands of troops Have fought for the future of equal justice and liberty, And have striven for the legality of virtues In our sacrosanct lives. . The goals of a representative democracy Are fundamentally rare - The sociopathic innocence Of coercion and power Is neither ambivalent nor cognizant Of the decency of soulful relevance and might… Love this freedom of democratic sentiments - And hold firm to the faith, morals, and epic ideals Of America’s otherworldly grandeur… |
