Oh patriot, oh patriot!
Indeed, their voices we
admire – anthem of those
selfless who God and country
did aspire! Gave their all.
Oh husband, oh Father
went into fire, returned
not~ from battle’s lethal
muck and mire. God
above, having all thy
supposed power, let us
remember them not just
with prayer and flower,
but by a greater humanity,
blessed rule of Christ's manifest
loving presence ever with us.
Dear Host of heavenly
bower, oh God, our Lord
rescue this earth, teach us
to forgive and treasure, such
gift of life, each soul of Your
Own Sacred Body Measure.
In the USA, 911 is also Patriot Day.
In spite of the good, bad, and ugly,
I am forever an American Patriot.
I am grateful for all the good.
I stand up; speak up; speak out;
And fight against the bad and evil.
I face up to the ugly and do my best
To paint a prettier picture of America.
I am a proud American,
Nothing more, nothing less,
No tags to wear,
No labels to confess.
I am not blind to history,
Nor unaware of our mistakes.
Like nations older than our own,
We've known the risks that failure makes.
Yet through the trials of our past,
We learned, endured, and found a way.
To rise above our broken roads
And build a stronger path each day.
History is not a chain to drag,
Nor a script we must obey.
It is a compass in our hands,
To guide us forward on our way.
I know what this country means to me,
A truth no one can redefine.
Not by titles, not by degrees,
Nor by a different view than mine.
So let me stand where I believe,
Without demands that I conform.
Leave me be, and walk in peace,
No anger, only calm and warmth.
For I am a proud American,
Nothing more, nothing less;
A citizen of hope and freedom,
Without a need for anything else.
I’m just an American, and proud to be!
By James C. Chapman
Why have they escaped horrible tyranny
and not come here to profess hypocrisy.
haven't they bled enough
and clung to deny clemency?
What was built by patriotic hands
won't be destroyed by a threat;
bravery always stands!
How beautiful is live
in a land of fairness and prosperity
without a set boundary;
we can own and wish what we crave!
Every dollar needs to be earned,
no laziness builds character
in struggles we thrive;
the strongest helps the weaker
no traitor is hailed and honored:
he';ll pay for his crime~
How beautiful is to live
in a land of freedom and prosperity,
without a set boundary;
we can own what we wish and crave!
America is the blessed
country of absolute freedom,
our belief is based on wisdom;
all patriots should be praised!
Averting their eyes, the channel they turn
as yet another forest burns
Temperatures climb every year
sure cure for heat – down another beer
Glaciers melting fast, oceans rising
no problem – oldsters busy downsizing
The weather’s now gone insane
forming in the Pacific, three hurricanes*
Sounds awful, but patriots stay in their lane
they just keep toking up on Mary Jane

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's famous narrative of 'an agent of national awakening ' in a un- uniformed rhymed account.Memorable metres make HWL tick in this patrotic missive
Longfellow very much a poesy traditionalist often with lyrical musicality did persist,
A poem by Frank Daub
I’m for stopping; Brendan’s not.
The sea is just down there.
I am anxious for the sight
of stone turned to bread by the wash
of foam and the jetting of the salt water.
I’m for stopping; Brendan’s not.
The spiraling gulls
are sun lighted bright in their play
above the sand,
their startling dive
toward the sea is brief
in time and sight.
I’m for stopping; Brendan’s not.
The freedom of the coast
was eight hundred years
at taking.
One bold county man’s toast
to the awakening water
baptizes the youth
who have forgotten Eire for other lovers.
I’m for stopping; Brendan’s not.
I haven’t heard the all
of every song
or the rise and fall
and rise of every story
that set a mother’s son
free to calculate a career.
I stand for stopping; Brendan says, “too late.”
I want to stay
where the past has gone,
old rebel cries and songs.
Yet,
it’s Brendan through the gate,
and gone
and done
and through with old.

Parading india creates man
During peace,parading india accelrates breathing
During war,parading india stops enemies' breathing
Such miracle is india
When war is thrust upon
Parading india wins war
During peace,prading india accelrates breathing
During war,parading india stops enemies' breathing
Such miracle is india
When epidemic is thrust upon
parading india evolves panacea
During peace,parading india accelrates breathing
During war,parading india stops enemies' breathing
Such miracle is india
When recession is thrust upon
Parading india prepares gravitating metal-filled astronomical bodies
During peace,parading india accelrates breathing
During war,parading india stops enemies' breathing
Such miracle is india
I feel no need to fly the flag
Just to please the crowd.
I see no need to demonstrate
To prove I'm English and proud.
Union Station, Washington, D.C., 2026
A lazy bunch of
worthless pogues,
the old, disgruntled
soldier cried,
leaning on his cane
as he made his way
through Union Station.
The National Guard
meandered around—
laughing, talking,
and looking at their phones.
“I bet you’ve never
seen a day of combat,
never had bullets fired
at you on a mission.
Yet you will brag
about the war you wage
against your own people.”
