POW'S/MIA'S OUR " LOST SOLDIER'S "
 

Soldier's " march " to War's called. .

Fighting for the red, white & blue

A Father's Son of " Heritage Born "

America's uniform is proudly worn

" POW'S/MIA'S soon family's to morn

Family waves to last LQQk's to view

Proud parent's gifted seed they gave

A pawn in play in Military's " stage "

Aircraft's down to signal's in the air. .

US Navy Pilot, AirForce & list is long

Echoes in the evenning now their song

A category, dog tag, victim their plight

National Alliance Of Familie's now fight

As DIA officials put evidence on " hold "

" the " Defense Intelligence Agency told

Names-Photo's & Historical data taken

Yet suffering POW'S/MIA'S sadly forsaken

Betrayed by Government & " red tape "

Hao Lo Pow Camp & Hanoi Hilton's fate

Beating's & torture within Camp's gate's

Soldier to HONOR'S a torch is daily " lit "

A black & white POW/MIA Flag to " glory "

Chapter's in your book's that untold story

As Freedom Fighter's long to bring home

The Lost Soldier " Missing In Action "

A Military's son labeled before their time

A Soldier's where about's & led astray. . .

Left behind & abandoned as " POW/MIA "

YOU linger in shadows as time goes by

A " Lost Soldier " & left alone to die

Labeled " Killed In Action " & we sigh. . . . . . .

Author's Note

I wrote this Poem to " Bring Our POWS/MIA'S home as the black & white Flag displays a soldier in " lost honor " as he await's rescue, head weary & tipped, a shadow in the night in Camp's or " Lost Souls " waiting a lighted path to be recovered & labeled " HOME FREE. " I dedicate this poem to our brave Soldier's who did NOT return from War's called in the Korean-World War II-COLD WAR & Vietnam's long war..Families " await " unanswered questions to their loved ones death or imprisonment & as the Flag fly's proud to their symbol & daily fight in " YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN " imprinted on their Flag to keep their MEMORY'S alive. . . . . . .One POW returned yet his friend's linger behind & he wear's the a POW Bracelet to keep his past POW brother's alive in memory. In April of 1942, the Japanese took 75,000 troops & unable to feed or transport prisoner's, many died along paths to walk 65 miles under tropical sun. Most suffered malaria or dysentery & about 7,000 died along roads due to starvation & disease or shot to their death. Most POW'S were listed " Missing In Action " famous last words to closing books to answers left behind closed doors & soldier's left behind gates of " War Zones " of hidden Camps. Nick Rowe had survived 8 prison camps after his capture in 1963 & escaped in the U-Minh " Forest of Darkness. " He STRONGLY felt not all POW's were returned & started a Campaign for the 1300 MIA's during Vietnam WAR. He never took off his POW bracelet to keep POW'S alive in Spirit & as we keep POW'S/MIA'S alive by flying the black & white Flag to their symbolizing their memory's surviving. Our Government knew many POW'S kept in remote prison camps yet listed them as MISSING IN ACTION. The " TORCH " is lit in lighting the path to bringing our soldier's home as Family's & comrades await their return. . . . . The BQQK to get fact's on POW'S is called " KISS THE BOY'S GOODBYE " by Monika Jensen-Stevenson & William Stevenson A GREAT BQQK to get answers to MIA'S.
