*****Dedicated To All Men And Women,in The Military.*****



Patrotism, still running high,
The doves, Against the war,
That's their right,
Are still organized.

Our love ones,
Are beginning to slowly
Trickle back home,
In mournful sorrow.

Returning,
In flagged draped,
Metal casket,
Now And Tomorrow.

With full Military Honors,
They Are Presented,
Back to us,
So we may pay, our final respect.

With painful tears,
Lingering in our eyes,
I weep,
But I dont't have, a shoulder to cry on

Mine were the comfort,
To others,
In my younger, worrier days,
Now my tears, just run down my face.

I show no shame, for tears I shed,
If they are not realeased,
My heart will break,
But I don't have, a shoulder to cry on.

Hearts break for the call of freedom and the loss we give to make it fact. These lives gave theirs for peace and those who turn away are doomd to be an emotional nothing for life. I would give my life for peace instead of running from war and abusing a country with loud voices because I could speak without recourse. Let those that deny freedom is important leave this country and find freedom of press elsewhere but live poorly. This is why they stay...they couldn't make a million somewhere else and be heard.


Great and superior write.
Thank you,
Susan

I'm completely speechless at this poem. You have a very strong talent in writing and very unique voice that is also intrigueing. This is an excellent piece. I know what it means and how it feels to have to cry alone. You gain a certain strength that can't help but show when you are not crying.

Very powerful piece indeed.



enjoyed!

I appreciate your passion, but weep not for the brave that gave their lives, weep for the many who turn their backs on this great sacrafice. Shame be to them.
