A poem for our armed forces - a celebrated light of victory and courage for our planet. |
| A jubilant and determined level Of historic authority. The leadership of a nation atop Freedom’s storied And mountainous terrain. A courage and majesty On specialized display. The zenith of the planet’s combative measures, Our armed forces men and women - Promoting the nation’s safety, Capacity, and pride… The enlightened economic verity and vision. The most God-driven, innovative, And hard fought victories. Etched in the awe-inspiring time scape Of the most lethal and impressive pinnacle; Our brave troops’ tremendous sacrifice And courage conveying The ultimate strength and comfort… A commitment to valor showcasing The powerful nation at its technologically leading And coordinated best; Our heroes’ commitment and honor In enormous peril. Some truly at-odds survivors Of the cruelest battles. Mental and physical illness… Post-traumatic fatigue and clamor… Austere and challenging symptoms… Their extremely painful plight Can and shall continue The known accountability… Our idyllic warriors coming into focus, Earning prestigious medals, accolades, And honorary attention; And the advantageous medical care, Storied rehabilitation treatments, And improved social support services - A family of the mightiest And most incapacitated veterans Of the past, present, and current era, Acknowledged to be the grandest And most deserving citizens Of our circumference and epic realm… A history of imperfect but highly respected Responses to imperialistic, territorial, Maniacal, and fatally Uncompromising enemies In the least acceptable environments, Promoting a global, militaristic, And deadly force in reply - For The Land of Freedom and Opportunity To further the earth’s history And economic concerns. Methods of involvement thoroughly Being questioned for their lack of impunity And diplomatic abuse… Recruitment being focused on poise, teamwork, And the superior ability of leadership And our informed generals And presidents To command each global strategic option. Fulfilling humankind’s Geopolitical aspirations and interests And admonishing human rights violations And abuses; While the signals of an advantageous And possible end to wars are arriving In parallel and coming to fruition… |
