Of Faded Infamy

Colors in the sky
Red dots winged evil
Black stench of flaming fear
Rainbowed path of burning oil
Whistling sting of shrapnel’s stolen lives
A sunny Sunday gone wrong
The tattered flags
RED  WHITE  and  BLUE

We shall all be forgotten but those who gave all should at least deserve a whispered "thank you".....Commenting on my own poem lest it also be forgotten
