July 4, 1776,
our flag was tri-color mixed!
Engineered by patriotic Betty Ross,
our flag glowed like stars in heaven,
at sunrise still shining bright,
yes through dawns early light!
The cause was just the battle right!
There is no joy in wars alarm,
death destruction horrific harm!
The loss of lives, homes lands,
cameras can't defined nor understand!
If you don't like war killing children,
or the masses of people being killed!
Stand up vote rally fight against evil,
these horrific horrors in life are real!
The same energy it takes to start a war,
that same energy can stop a war,
even prevent a war from happening!
The only race the Creator created,
my people was the human race!
Subdue the earth man and woman,
be fruitful and multiply,
that can't happen while we.
are destroying one another!
Love more and give more!
As Michael Jackson would sing,
It don't matter if you're black or white
and John Lennon would sing,
and our world would be as one!
Happy Fourth of July!

Thanks for writing about the insanity of war. I wish more people felt this way. I've been watching the movie, "Schindler's List," which doesn't pull any punches. How many of my cousins fought for the Germans in World War II? I don't want to know.

Happy 4th Michael! So good to read your poem. For it made me think of all the innocent children caught in the crossfire of war. What is worse than war? It is genocide. Innocent children being slaughtered just because they are Christian. When will the injustice stop? I look at a country like Vietnam. No one would have thought of visiting it when all those innocent people were being killed in the crossfire of war. However, a miracle has occurred. Today, Vietnam is one of the most popular travel destinations, as is Thailand and many areas of South East Asia. Who would have thought that many of our clothes we wear today now come from Vietnam? What happened? They are truly being blessed by God Almighty. Only God could have made this happen. Still, we need to pray for the children. Amen!
