Oh say can you see

Oh say can you see blood soaked Baltimore reeking of falsified documents blood soaked levies oh say can you see corruption over board Atta Mohammed and Bin Laden brought to trial on this land oh say can you see veterans crying while domestic abusers dine in Caribbean pajamas oh say can you see our beautiful flag torn tatters lifted rasing all doubt as truth balance gravity a surety of peace no organized crime could ever devour with falsified documents orchestrated to assist abusers and target the victims of domestic violence oh say can you see Francis Scott Key galloping over the bridge chanting the red coats are coat they came dear and falsified documents data breach to harm disabled veterans and their families waarheid thee uncharted endeavor of fraud and waste have mercy on us and on the whole world. And our Flag was still There .

Dear Yolanda, your cuts are deep. The image of Baltimore reeking & the flag in tatters is haunting. You weave real pain - veterans, domestic abuse - with historical echoes. "Francis Scott Key galloping" brings a fresh perspective. A powerful call for truth & peace. - Blessings, Daniel
