OUR AMERICA (patriotism)

Folder: 
JOURNAL#26

                              









among the smoldering ashes

of our gathered pain

flourishes

the brilliant petals

of such unwavering patriotism

men rising

in their very own souls

carried forward

upon a wave of incredible strength

fed by the streaming banners

hung everywhere

stating proudly

UNITED WE STAND

and GOD BLESS AMERICA

once upon a much more

innocent age

this was a nation

seen from a near global view

as one who comforts her people

and now the people have rallied

to comfort their nation

and each other

with steadfast determination

through the dark perils

of such sad days ahead

we vow to grieve

yes

but move on

then purposefully

Live

Love

and be LOUD!!!!!!

in this land

of obviously envied freedom!

reach out America I say

take your neighbor's hand

and use the shield of GOD

that's in your soul

to protect you

Don't be so afraid

in these fearful hours

slowly now dawning

to lead all of Western Civiliaztion

into yet another world war

for so blessed were we

that we were born free

and if we have to

we will die free

I say

SHOUT it from atop the destruction even

of the Pentagon

and the World Trade Centers

just like they did on that plane now

scattered across the fields of Pennsylvania!

LONG LIVE OUR AMERICA!!!!!!!!!
