| So many shouts against our FLAG, so many screams of hate and rage. As with their freedom they do yell, against the wars of past present days. A flame erupts among the crowd, Red, White and Blue does burn. More shouts by those so na�ve, to blind, to young to ever learn. Then in the midst a soldier stands, with medals pale with time and pride. Scars of wars on his face do show, upon a steel chariot he does ride. "Know you not of men that died, of women sent to early graves. As for your freedom they did stand, so many heroes so many braves. Rows of stones with forgotten names, proud soldiers laid to peaceful rest. Did die for that FLAG you so burn, with their life they gave their best." Silence came upon the raging crowd, as this soldier stood in pain, He rendered one more sharp salute, as heaven's angels came. A broken heart stopped that day, too much for one to silently bear. Memories of friends past that fell, so strong the past so still unfair. So if you do not know the price, of freedom you do so use to rave. Look beneath at yonder rows of stone, for that price they Proudly gave. GSMC (SW) Jose G. Acosta USN (Ret) |
