President Bush has decreed no media or public recognition of our returning dead and wounded. WITHOUT CEREMONY We send them out to risk their lives And then, when they give their all We hear their names on the news Without Ceremony, and that's all. Each should have an Honor Guard That's shown, for the World to see That we pay homage to all those Who died for all our Liberty. Each, should have their own caisson Rolling slowly, down each street To make us, always remember Who our enemies, did meet. But, nowadays it seems That all the Powers that be Want them to return unnoticed And, Without Ceremony. "It's too hard for the Loved Ones." If, we Honor, their Remains They say, "Out of sight and mind." Will help ease all the pains. But our Government, (and us) Who let them come home unseen And, Without Ceremony Are doing something that's obscene. We have Celebrations When the rest of them return But, it's the Dead and Wounded Who could teach us, if, we'd learn. 02-22-2004 Del "Abe" Jones |

Abe It makes me feel good to see that someone else has the guts to expose Bushie policy.... The reason they don't do the ceremony for these fallen warriors is the same reason they don't release figures of Iraqi civilian dead....Somehow they think that hiding these things will help hide their stupid decision to go to war in the first place (with Iraq), but poems like this will call them out in the open, and expose their decisions as wrong, as they are so easily detected as so if all facts are considered. Good job on this piece, _____ice ><> |
