I found this poem while surfing the net. Like to share it here with everyone The night slowly creeping in The American Flag waving high The shots still ringing out The stampede still pushing on Moments captured By the camera of time The click of the shutter Sits deep in the mind An American, a soldier, a parent, a wife Serving so proudly, laying down a life Drawing the line between truth and lies Trusting a leader foolish or wise? No longer the power held by a few Give the people what they are due Peace, love, and harmony, does it exist? Hard to see through the 9-11 mist Random insanity or a plot so thick Thought and time cut to the quick A change on the horizon, Election Day near Heads in the sand quacking with fear The battle goes on a world away Politics and pride still get in the way Pull in the oars, bring home daughter and son Eternity will pass until this war is won The dollar is drowning in excess and greed Yet the backyard is starving and bleeding with need A solution to the puzzle of uncertainty and fear So many lost already Is the answer near? Only time will reveal what the future will be But time cost too much To America and ME
