Two patriotic poems

"There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty that makes human nature rise above itself in acts of bravery and heroism." Alexander Hamilton

FEELING BEING AMERICAN

Have you ever gotten goosebumps when the National Anthem is sung?

Have you ever felt a lump in your throat as you watch the American flag hung?

Have you had to question your liberty in the recent days gone by

Have you started watching the nightly news with tears and question why?

Were you front and center in line to vote no matter what the issue?

Does a twenty-one gun salute leave you reaching for a tissue?

Does our history move you to great feelings of pride?

Do you understand once our freedom is gone, there is nowhere you can hide?

Is there a point that you will tolerate no more political games?

Have you gotten fed up with politicians calling each other names?

Do you know the system is breaking, or have you buried your head in the sand?

Do you understand We the People have the right to make demands?

Won't you read the Constitution and again give it a try?

Instead of living a life of apathy and watching your country die?

"When the sword is drawn the passions of man observe no bounds of moderation."

Alexander Hamilton 1744-1804

WARS TO PEACE

Passions rise to a crescendo as battle lines are drawn

When it comes to whether freedom will be won or lost

Peace becomes expensive when we sacrifice our own

But throughout history we have not hesitated to bear the cost

Our children and theirs become our obsession

When we see their liberty at stake

We ultimately choose to fight off an enemy's aggression

It has been throughout history the choice we had to make

And we've never balked at fighting for freedom's sake
