I hope William D'Artagnan Bonilla can convince his Musketeers pals to come to our rescue, we need loyalty.
This one is for all our soldiers in harms reach.


Poem Artwork





With a handful of emeralds the Cardinal
was trying to Marie Antoinette to do wrong,
Richelieu’s political power was waning, and
used precious stones, vile thirty silver coins.

The bloody history of the Golden France
started with many a lie, as all we know,
to replace absolute power with another,
calling it democracy, never they said terror.

Liberté, Fraternité et Egalité the frenzy plebe
shouted when knocking at the Bastille’s doors,
as their masters ignited more and more frenzy
because seeing their future paved with gold.

The idea was good, singing the Marseillaise
liberty was growing in the nation’s womb,
then, the politicians took to the stage
and the freedom child became a dead born.

Many men has been peacefully toiling the soil
while other men, in the shadows, despised work,
why sweat for a piece of bread of every day
if you can get it by sending other men to war.

“Fight with what you have…
not with what you wish you had.”

The Nation’s seed heard in awe as we did
that famous of all the stupid uttered words,
they are sending soldiers without protection,
to a place they wouldn’t send their own sons.

We all share two-thousand years of blame
for that first treason with thirty silver coins,
and the blame for them to send our children
to die in another Golgotha for few drops of oil.

We sure will have welcome noble D’Artagnan,
Athos, Porthos and Aramis to defend the honor
of a Nation of suffering many a honest men under
a respected Star & Stripes, the fairest of them all.

I am so proud of our sons and daughters. You have written a brilliant message for our troops. Oh what I would not give for our President to return our troops, and to strenthen this country within. "A Nation divided against itself can not stand". Let my people go

Georg...this is really well written...with strength and sensitivity. ...then, the politicians took the stage and the freedom child became a dead born.

As For this masterful written creation
I bow to you Sir, crossing my plumed hat
across my chest, attempting to utter words
worthy of this poetry before me.
My eyes teared with crytal passion
each night before I prayed to the Lord above
To keep my Son safe while on his tour in "Desert Storm"
In the Era Of "Bush the first"
Now Bush II is still there trying his out most best
To bring our sons of America back to their love ones
As he fights several fronts, specially the politicians at the "Hill"
those wanna be Gemerals meddling idiots, who care about nothing but their own benefits and salaries. enough political trash talking
All I wish to see is our sons of America Return with the Honor and dignity They deserve......"God Bless Our Troop", "God Bless America"
Peace be with you Brother

The days of Henry V and Wellington, Churchill are long gone.
Even Englands pulling out, at Bushs anger, but Brown is trying to force America in to a democrate victory or England, the commonwealth and europe will pull its drawerbridge up.
After all we've done, the yaky generals are having a right old go, as we can see the futility of men dying to save Bush n Blairs Faces..

And what did they find in the Bastille, it was hardly worth attacking, but they were blood thirsty and their liberty was the guiliottine. You depicted it well. Victor

Many elements here Georg, all honorable and seamlessly woven together in a write that touches the soul. There are still many examples in this wicked world of the betrayal of Jesus by Judas. The rivers of your heart flow deeply Poet.

The day I heard that totally heartless, totally asinine speech, I lost all hope.
