Never Forget

Tyrants reigned, the few arose
to smite the ever poking nose
that seeks to find how to close
avenues where Freedom flows.

Thanks be to God; dare those
in desert sparse or thick hedgerows
to un-sling arms beside their Bros
and quit not the fight, lest defeat shows.

Keep on your toes,
oppose your foes,
have weapons chose
and know your blows.

See to it, that it goes
not the way of moments froze
in time past so no one knows
the Tree of Liberty, by blood was watered, grows.

“ The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” -Thomas Jefferson

I dont believe that Thomas Jefferson was blood thirsty as I have heard one commentator say , but that he said that as a reminder to us of what Freedom cost those who paid .

Vivid poem DustDevil, thank you.


I thank the men and women in service and curse governments for their neccessity daily.

May those who have fallen never be forgotten.
