A tribute to our Armed Forces men and women - hope they find peace in the aftermath-a poem
Magic’s engendered when the enemy’s bad -
Wounds and lost souls, end up hurt, make us sad.
Liberty and freedom must somehow be had.
You make us so proud, brother, sister, mom, dad…

A worthwhile journey to measure this scope;
Efforts, analysis providing sweet hope…
Serving for progress, a slippery slope.
Many great soldiers so ready, must cope…

A demon’s solution, which diplomacy gets…
United and focused against all vile threats!
Owning the missions, the reasons for debts;
Service dissolves, is the construct that sets…

Why those two decades, then leave right away -
No wonder we’re constructed to battle that way;
How all evil nations, terror groups come to play -
Every dark actor looks to have the last say.

Violence and weapons, not targets by choice -
The world’s freedom fighters, America’s Rolls Royce…
We’re vehement pay dirt, now hearing that voice.
America’s troops exact payment - invoice…

Apply that pressure, sent by generals and admirals -
Dominate, defeat, and decimate these infidels…
The bullseye of communists, haters, and radicals -
Now headed to graveyards, tombstones, and funerals…
