Code Talkers

My soul rejoices
For its metaphors,
Those pure and mixed;

Transforms symbols,
Veiled into Light--

We are literary:

Our stories, lives,

Encrypted by the Maker,
Deciphered by
Men and women
With ears to the earth
And eyes to the sky--

They have never forgotten
The Great Plains--
Its deep thunder of buffalo;
One with brother eagle
Respectful of thermals
And winds
Shared a treasured high

The unbreakable code
A language of Spirit--

Couldn't have defeated Japan without them. The Native American Indian, another of America's dirty deeds. "Our nation was born in genocide..." and we called them "savages". Enjoyed the read Joe. Sorry about the rant. I sympathize with the native Americans.

The work they did for American was truly miraculous. The Code Talkers are Great Americans! This cannot be emphasized enough.
