The Home of the Brave
THE HOME OF THE BRAVE
O the flag still waves
in Paradise
red, white, blue and singed
as serpentine colors licked
with razor-sharp tongues —
black and white
egg yolk yellow
and rip-roaring red
snapping, crackling, tearing
in armageddon style
O an angel stood guard

upon a lone symbol
Patriotism withstanding

Monday and many more Memorial Days
We will dignify this warrior
And others like him lost in battle.
Honoring them with flowers,
Prayers and parades,
eulogistic speeches
praising them for giving us
another day of freedom
in America, home of the brave.
