Poem
This is the flag that shall never fall, a flag woven with stars...blue as the widest ocean, and red as the blood sustaining my heartbeat evermore; empires rise and fall, this one will endure furthermore, and under the watchful eyes of the Almighty, I foresee a renewed prosperity, not calamity! They tried to tear it down and strip it of all its glory, the mighty towers crumbled down and turned into toxic dust, and still that flag was raised on the piles of debris by the brazen firefighters of the greatest city; and while this city breathed death everywhere...imagining the worst, the Good Samatarians pulled many out of the infernal ruins! Be proud, Americans for your bravery is long remembered, and you, hard-working folks, who came from other countries to lead a better life, loyalty and fortitude are the virtues to fight the dismayed and arrogant enemy; all join in to sing liberty's anthem...God, our Lord, is listening! Be assured that your flag shall never fall, hold it up with all your audacity; and nobody can ever take it down or defile it by burning it with fire! Wave, O brave Americans, the flag that shall never fall, I am the foreigner who has praised its peaceful quest from the very beginning, and will for endless ages through my poetic voice, which will never be silenced or die! Let me sing with you, O fellow Americans, and share your fervent pride; I will pray for those blessings that are a joy to be received, so that your country remains safe and your flag shall never fall! My poem is dedicated to the victims and survivors of the September 11 attack on America Copyright 2009 by Andrew Crisci
