Our Veterans’ Hope - A Land of Ideals

Thinking about our world and the veterans who fought for our freedom - a poem.

Our brave and needy veterans
Must continue to further
The accountability
Of our foremost citizenry.
Scarred vets of past, present,
And current scenarios -
Those true warriors,
So embattled and soon-to-be enlightened
By our caring, concern, and vision,
Should doubtlessly feel inspired
To seek a new nexus in verve -
A glowing, subjective aura…
A meritorious model of authority
Less taxing and humbling
Is a much more gratifying
And triumphant celebratory service.
The greatest gift to each and every generation
Is the honored treatment and restoration
Of our awesome service men
And women’s deserving souls.

The status of enduring national pride,
Relying on resiliency, reciprocity, togetherness,
And acceptance;
A mental and physical shape and tone -
The survivors of the most grossly cruel battles;

These highly at risk populations
In such horrible situations.

The current administration refusing
To let the nation’s visionary status
Be denied;
Celebrating the strength, commitment,
And valor of this free society’s
Prosperity, pride, and dignified scope
This time of year amid the current era’s
Dark and deathly situations
And horrific episodes
Of mental distress and bitter, vile hatred. 

The service men and women
Whose tremendous sacrifices
And courage have enabled us
To enjoy all of the freedoms
And privileges of this great
And proud land! 

Struggling and eventually attaining
Peace, health, joy,
And happiness -
As America’s leadership sustains
That appreciated and valued search
For global respect
And harmony;

Ending deadly wars
And hundred’s years conflicts -
And uniting the nation’s allies
Against those heartrending nuclear ambitions
And self-serving reclamations
Of imperialist retaking
Of sovereign, regional nations
Which they view as their rightful territories…

A terrifying truth for The Land of Ideals
And Inspirational Leadership
To try to contain and admonish -
Through appropriate military thinking
And bold, prolific might…
