FORMIDABLE FOE


America is the birthday cake of earth,
As the ants march from every direction.
Thank God for all who have sworn to defend her,
Serving with love, honor, pride, and affection.

Since the first day George Washington marched off to war,
There have been those who have wished our demise.
Their hatred, fueled by jealousy and greed,
Was defeated by our brave and the wise.

Once again, we must face a formidable foe,
Who have pledged by their God to destroy us all
Misusing their faith as an excuse to kill,
As for a worldwide jihad, their leaders call.

Some say we should try to appease them,
For if we resist, they’ll hate us even more.
But the David's among us shall cast our stones,
Defeating them, as it was done before.


SEPTEMBER 11th


After suffering the wrath of a sneak attack
America now mourns to her very core.
Though soon her enemies shall all but flee
From the sound of America waging full war.

Let there be no doubt, no doubt at all,
That the devil has decided to give us a call.
We shall defeat hell’s soldiers and cast them out
And if we die; that's what freedom is about.

We shall seek them out wherever they may hide,
Street by street, house-by-house, cave by cave.
They will be eradicated from the face of the earth
By the righteous, the loyal and the brave.

you make the U.S sound so admirable in this piece.. It's a pity that isn't the case at all.

Thank you for your reply here is how I feel
about man himself.

THE MURDEROUS HAND OF MAN


War I hate, though not men, flags nor race,
But war itself with its ugly face.
When we lose faith in the brave which die,
Then we're not fit to greet those who cry.

What distinguishes war isn't death,
But that man is slain by fellow man.
Crushed by cruelty and injustice,
With his enemy's murderous hand.

War tends to punish the punishers,
So the losers won't suffer alone.
The essence of war is but violence,
Till the survivors come marching home.

WHY


Why must we yearn for what we can't have?
When already, we have more than we deserve.
Nevertheless, we’ll take all we can get;
Performing daily for those we serve.

Why must religions battle one another?
Calling on the faithful for deadly jihad.
Why should so many die for the few?
When all are the children of God.

Why do soldiers sing as to death they march?
Which they have for centuries and more.
Knowing quite well, combat awaits them,
Leaving nothing as it was before.

The biggest question of life is "why?"
The wrath of man is always in season,
Why is our world the way it is
Like a tragic poem without rhyme or reason.

Interesting take..

I often ponder what George Washington would say about today...all I know is he and the founding fathers were mostly disgusted by the market economy that developed and the freedom it allowed to the common man.  A good man to see the woes of money taking root.

I question the David analogy since such a small people were the attackers against such a powerful nation  - I of course wouldn't make them a David but that part of the poem is questionable, but that's just me.
