I challenge you to close read this poem and tell me what you think it is about!!! Is there a symbol? what does the symbol explain? Who is the speaker? What are they saying?

November 11, 2010.

Dedicated to our troops.

Something I made up out of patriotism.

Government thinks the people they govern are uninformed idiots.

Here are the lyrics from a song I wrote in around 2004.

For those who fight for us.

War and what it brings with it.

A hope and an iconic poem for every American patriot. An inspirational message and a prophecy for all of God’s children everywhere.

It’s a tribute for the people behind the newspaper…
