Who build the cars we drive

And Christmas is drawing near

Poetry - Another Day of Infamy March 20, 2003 By Del Abe Jones.

An unprovoked attack in Forty-one
That some say, could have been prevented
Sadly, now we have another one
From lies our Government invented.
We are coming on five years of War
More than forty-three hundred killed
Just so, as some say, the Pres's wishes

If we don't change the way we do
And learn to do what we don't
If we can't each, honor ourselves
It's a sad fact that others won't
And there will be no hope!
If life isn't treated sacredly

And the wrong message to send.
But, who more than those Troops
Would like to come home to stay

As a place to show their Will

They have found some more remains
That have lain hidden for so long

There is something surely wrong.

Who had nothing to lay to rest

Poetry - The Price They Pay By Del Abe Jones.

The only ones who give more
For the high cost of Liberty

Poetry - More Is Not Better By Del Abe Jones.

We have been at the War this time
Longer than that one in Forty-one

But too many, more than one.
The right thing when we started
And sent Troops to Afghanistan

We forgive too many crimes
And we say that it's okay

Or we'll pretend we didn't see

Anniversary is not a proper word
To mark the meaning of that day

Those who fought and those we lost
