The ending seems a little shaky to me

the bold colors that they represent
walking up and down the sides of planes
civilians run for cover in the hills
as a rocky blanket of something
lasting from the green to brown
of the i's that follow so closely in suit
they say we are trying to take over
of what? we question, though lies go unanswered
the truth filters in behind her gas mask
she ducks behind the bunkers
afraid of the poison that fills the lungs
of reporters and cameras everywhere
and what are we to do
all the way over in the free countries
watching the colors fly in the sky
with braves souls attached to the chutes
voluntarily risking their lifes to protect
us in the red white and blue honor
that twas bestowed upon them
as there job for the fate they risk
into the signature that upholds morals
about the courtesys of war
believe in the saying
in god we trust

Windows stained with the fog, words written in by a girl.
