Remembering Infamy...

Poem Artwork

 

Under the stars & stripes she met her death,

She died in agony; they killed her by surprise,

While they were in Washington telling their lies,

Entombed within are many American sailors,

The Japanese their ultimate jailors…

 

She now sits on the bottom of Pearl harbor,

As a monument to those that did within her die,

Her name never again used for an active ship,

For 71 years, Americans still do for her cry…

 

Remember her on this day of remembrance,

Remember her for human contents,

Never again shall we allow such horrid events,

I hope this does bring on humanities laments…

None will forget and if too
young to remember let it be
taught what we did and how
we died doing it for our country

Love and Light

Well said, my friend. I will never forget that day and I will never, ever buy a Japanese car or truck.

In the background hoses poured water on the flames. We are all hopeful that breakthroughs will happen soon. Gaining after 71 years I hope. 911 another day that will live in infamy. Thanks for the great sentiments poetically framed.
