News Flash
Another child soldier dead
buried in the peace
The babe of a mother
a father’s worst dread
Tears drowning his memory
that can’t be renewed
Neath the Stars and the Stripes
his body is viewed
Like Vietnam’s lost legacy
of death and demise
For the flag of a nation
once more so many have died
Parent’s prayers unheeded
because the bureaucrats lied
Our point has been made…
hear the president declare
We’ll bring home our boys
in just one more year
We’ve taught them A-Rabs a lesson
not sure what it was
With the lives of our youth
we sacrificed national fear
A quiet sadness and then a rage comes over me with your words. Well said.
hugs,
Kathy

I wonder if those 'in charge' would sacrifice their lives to ease their self-created and now 'national/international fear'. Oh it's such a mess! Not one life should have been lost. And, the Arabs -- it seems we have been taught the lesson (Not one that you, I and the rest of humankind needed to learn -- only those who make the rules)
Sadly, Suzie :-(
