James Fraser Poet Monorhyme

Conversation To Decoration

It started with conversation
By out of work frustration
Heading the way of desperation
As they filled in their application

Many would lack education
Would it lead to their great expectation
By training induced concentration
Next day they reach preparation

We needed no invitation
To war went this modern invasion
Many came back in transformation
Whilst thousands reached termination

And all this for administration
Who say thank you with a decoration

Carolyn Devonshire May 28, 2010 at 8:46 AM As Memorial Day approaches, I was moved by this outstanding tribute to our military. Those young people who can't afford to go to college and have trouble finding work as the unemployment rate remains high often turn to careers in the armed services. We could not survive without the work they do. Congratulations on taking second place in the contest, James. Love, Carolyn

John Trusty May 26, 2010 at 4:02 PM James, I'm back in the 60's listening to Edwin Starr, CS&N, Credence and Buffalo Springfield. You know the songs. Thank you for reminding me it's "DEJA VU" all over again. Lad, for me the last four lines really say it all. These were heartfelt words reaching from Scotland to the midwest. Both sides of the pond are affected. Thank you. JT
