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
