Succeeding in everything you do
Not taking 'no' for an answer
Your people are smart and strong
Tackling every problem that will occur
The American Eagle flies
Spreading its wings looking over you
Do you think it is proud of this,
Or does it think its just a bird above?
The forests across the land
All have spirited and stories to tell
Would any of sit and listen
Or wait until each tree fell down?
The flag is mighty and strong
With meaning of very much
A symbol that people respect
But remember feelings and life attached
People of today should teach
What your children would love to learn
Remember the history and the nature
And let the fire of spirit burn bright
The American Eagle flies
Spreading its wings looking over you
Do you think it is proud of this,
Or does it think its just a bird above?
&
The flag is mighty and strong
With meaning of very much
A symbol that people respect
But remember feelings and life attached
- the whole poem is the BOMB!!!....please.. no pun intended...
but these two phrases work so fucking well together.... because they both stand for this country, but one looks down on it, and one won't let them forget...
Congrats... one of my fav. poems I've read today.
The sprit of freedom makes men flock to the cause. To make sure it never fails. Even when war is knocking on our very door. FOr america has never faultered when time has come to meet war's callange. For freedom we have paid a high cost on forigen battlefields as well as at home.
