America

Absolution abd freedom is what our forefathers sought.
Many lives lost in all the wars and battles fought.
Emancipation has cost such a dear and heavy price.
Remember these lives as we enter this newest enterprise.
Ideals and morals from the past, now we must defend.
Children from geenerations to come, on us depend.
And now, like those who have given life, it's our obligation.
! For freedom to all mankind, never forget 911.

Thank you so much QS. It's sad so many have forgotten those lives from different countries that perished that day and the brave heroes that saved many as well. Watch the responses, even those who read this. Why does poetry have to be about love or sadness to be popular? LOL! To you!
