American Dreams

For God and country, swaying toe to line. Like whispers lost upon a mighty wind. A cadence echoes; “soldiers ‘til the end.” Why bestow our youth upon the frontline? Tides that rise; too must fall to sculpt their shores. The price of Freedom is too often death. Life devoid of Liberty; wasted breath. American Dreams cast in souls of wars!
