21 guns

in Memory of those brave men.

Who fought for our freedom.

against governmental tyrany.

who lost everything.

but inner strength & determination.

United under a banner of commonality -

for basic human rights.

And universal Equality.

Who found their truths camoflaged.

Under a facade of fallacy.

Whose situations were sabotaged.

By a broke back economy.

may your spirits yet roam.

Like wild horses.

Along the coastal shores.

May the lord welcome you home.

Drawing you closer.

with open doors.

may your throne be positioned.

high in the fortress-

With a fine view of ocean atolls.

may your Smile forever more.

Provide warmth.

for your young ones.

no matter where they go...
