According to a source on the much maligned much touted Twitter.com, the populus of the US o' A is experiencing "Spinetingling Excitement" this weekend, as we celebrate and honour the Veterans of the United States Armed Forces, who have passed and have loved ones who have passed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Families and Friends of Military Service Members who are currently deployed overseas, wishing their loved ones could come home and be a family. And I congratulate the service members's here at home, celebration with their family & friends.
I for one, think the 'spinetingling excitement' this Memorial Day Weekend is partly from the agro-pharma drugs being passed around in Youth culture, but also because we all know, WE ARE AT WAR!!!
And with this elephant in the room and air,
It's all around, a "spinetingling sensation of excitement", permeating this much vetted and touted national celebration.
I for one,
Would like to write a poem about the troops who lost their lives:
"You gave it your all,
yet somehow they fall,
us versus them,
you never gave a damn,
but sitting here now,
alive while you're dead,
I guess a lot of us,
are just seeing red,
I'm angry and mad,
at what our USA is,
and USA has become,
In this age,
But I'd wager,
that casinos and lottery,
are the sin of ole'
The brute sin of Poverty,
Why are we civil,
in an uncivil world,
Why do we only care,
about our girl,
I know that Johnny
in 1956
Wouldn't have liked this,
nope,
not a bit,
and turn the page,
I'll wager a bet,
that no one cares,
about the national debt,
the fruited plain's harvest,
grows on trees,
and that's all they want,
in world war THREE,
the wheat the harvest,
the harvest the wheat,
Out in Utah,
where they know how to do it,
I can't see,
I can't hear,
What I never,
Knew to fear,
Was fear itself,
Can you hear it smell it?
Fear incarnate,
Ain't it like hell mate?
I'm like all like
I kno rite?
Let's keep it safe for D-Day 23
This Memorial Night
