Badged Poems | Examples


9-11-01

terror filled morning
two felled towers shook the earth
darkness obscured sky

they answered the call
that bright September morning
for some was their last

badged and civilian
a nation’s colors shone bright
heroes every one

united purpose
all brothers for common cause
the day the world changed
Form: Haiku

Swastika

Swastika
Author: fjamesj9701


The peace your arms once moved humanity and grace
Of luck and prosperity now echoes through nightmares and disgrace
For thousands of years you reperesnted so many cultures
Until propaganda branded you into an image of slaughter
You were sealed on the coin in the Great City of Troy
Adorned Indian textiles and spoken throuh Buddhist voice
Worn proudly on the sleeves of Americans during the first war
Even badged on a Boy Scouts until hitler made you a whore
The symbolism of the four cardinal directions 
have they too lost their ways
Memories as old as ancient lost in time and misplaced
To you well being was to translate from svasti
Idolized by so many wanna be ignorant nazis
Genocide is your agenda but wipe that stupid look from your face
As you now know your tattooed not by your hero but a tan and yellow race
