My Yellow Ribbon
Patriotism -
Calls to them
young men
young women
They leave behind
the creature comforts
To lay their heads
on distant shores
For in the name
of
Freedom
They fight
They kill
or
Are killed
Always thinking
of home
Always remembering
the men
the women
Who have walked
distant shores before
And emptied
their own hearts
Upon foreign lands
Who in turn
Remembered others
Times continues
the solemn march
While we at home
tie yellow ribbons
Choose politicians
Have barbeques
Sometimes,
with the thought
Of the real meaning
of the holiday
Buzzing
about
our
mind
Like a pesky fly
'It's a holiday-
have fun!'
These thoughts we
think
As we mentally
swat
the memories
That have brought us
to this day
While
young men
and young women
Lay their heads
on distant shores.
Carol

They are all heroes in my eyes. Everyone of them. Fighting a ridiculous useless was in the name of terrorism when all that is involved is power and greed for oil. You don't see the children of the politicians going to battle over there. Excellent write.
