The Bloody Dawn

The war that took it all away, Stripped us of our freedom, our rights, and left us barren in this world today. They came on us like they were friends, As we opened up our gates to let them in. With not a thought given as to what evil plans they had in store. To the foul deeds and power that they mustered as they invaded our shores. Oil tankers by the thousands brought war machines and death like we’ve never known. Into our ports and harbors as their flags of friendship so deceitfully were flown. They stormed our southern borders without a fight. Killing and destroying any and everything that came into sight. With no respect or mercy we had to flee. Leaving behind a world that now is just a long ago memory. Hiding like animals the ones that would not bow, Or the only hope left to those they’ve captured in this crazy world right now. So quick they came they flooded our land, No one was ready to take this stand. No warning, no nothing was ever given to us that fateful day, As war was brought on in a frightful way. It was another Pearl Harbor of such enormous magnitude as we ran to escape. We have totally been violated and the only word that comes to mind is rape. We knew this could happen but we remained ill prepared, Well now that it’s happened how well have you faired? Just like a giant game of chess that they played us so well This could really happen but right now ( Thank God ) it’s just a story I tell.
