TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA YOU MUST HAVE READ THE POEM “IN FLANDERS FIELD”, AND OTHER POEMS AS WELL THAT SAY THE SAME - THE MEN WHO DIED IN WARS LONG GONE APPEALED THEIR LIVES CUT SHORT , AND THEY WERE NOT TO BLAME! THE PRESIDENTS BEFORE IN CRISES CHOSE TO SEND MEN TO THEIR DEATH (A WRONGFUL CHOICE) BUT YOU HAVE HINDSIGHT NOW TO GUIDE YOUR POSE AND HAVE THE CHANCE TO HELP THE WORLD REJOICE THE PEOPLE OF THOSE FOREIGN LANDS ARE NOT YOUR ENEMIES, NOR DID THEY CHOOSE TO FIGHT- AND NOTHING GOOD CAN COME OF WHAT WE’VE GOT WHICH ONLY IS A FAULTY SHOW OF MIGHT. IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO OWN UP TO MISTAKES NOR TELL THE WORLD THAT WE WERE IN THE WRONG IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO SEE WHAT FAIRNESS MAKES OUT OF A HABIT SHOWN TO BE SO BAD SO LONG. I AM A VETERAN, TOO, A VOLUNTEER- I LOVE MY COUNTRY FOR EACH LOVELY THING BUT NOW I WRITE TO TELL YOU WHAT I FEAR THE COURSE YOU TAKE WILL NOT HELP FREEDOM RING. PLEASE THINK ABOUT THIS, MR. PRESIDENT- AND PUT YOUR COUNTRY FIRST IN ALL YOUR THOUGHTS- HARK TO THESE MEN AND WOMEN, WHAT THEY MEANT! AND HELP US HAVE THAT LAND FOR WHICH THEY FOUGHT! ~ © Bob (C1ydeBunky@aol.com) ~ November 22, 2003 If you enjoyed this page, check these out: Sledding A Christmas Carol Love Brings Feelings When Santa Was A Boy Snowballing And.......for many others, click the link for HOME.
