A Veteran’s Day poem - may God bless our veterans! |
A veteran’s glorious and epic standing, Having served in America’s military, Evicts a tragic trial and abasement Of the uniform’s claims of honor; For the collective cause Of this warrior level Of immense sacrifice Has come into the knowing And infamous mental, physical, And emotional grief of gruesome hardships; And these wounds require The acknowledgment Of the means and desires Which unite these true And victorious men and women - The paramount conditions of stress And fulfillment that mark the rarity Of this section and splice of life - Perpetually ignited By foreign and domestic, Industrious and vital, Patriotic ambitions… The Land of Stars and Stripes Lives forever in gratitude Of our wondrous troops’ courageous acceptance Of these bold missions and tours of duty, In the most deadly And volatile environments, In compelling and capable survival mode, For these carefully considered And administrative investments Of resources and equipment In faraway places And globally efficacious realms - For these eventually make our Homeland Safe and free from vicious And destructive acts of terror And the most deadly attacks… God bless our inspiring And bold veterans… May Earth hold America and its allies In merciful, prayerful, And heightened regard And the utmost heavenly distinction. |
