Requiem, an act of Remembrance
(Dedicated to the Chattanooga
Shooting victims)
Mothers, I know you can’t
forget the memories of young and laughter, it’s time to let it go
Fathers, I know you live with
regrets and every day thereafter, for how much you loved them, they will always
know
Children and siblings, have
faith, you shall see your brothers again in heaven, it was destined as they lived
his life so well, and they won't go to hell
And turn your eyes into the
light that brings you the truth
As the flag, red, white, and
blue, flies at half-mast for your sorrow
As another soldier, marine or
sailor dies, and sees the stars of glory
At half mast, for those brave
warriors dead or no longer living
As the wind blows the flag in
full wave, we think of forgiving
As they fell to the ground and
suffer no more, forever
Before the devil they faced,
and to their knees they dropped never
As they stood tall, as the
battle wages domestic or foreign, they gave their love, their blood, their
courage, their all
They answered their heart’s
journey, they answered a hero’s call
Red was the color or the
lifeless flesh and skin that fell to the ground today when the early sun was
rising
The battle within our own
country, has just about to begin
The hate surrounds us as we
seek to make peace as other pray for war for a religion that speaks of hate and
leaves love behind
The flag at half mast, tells
us not to turn our backs to those who fell, as the time will tell, this
perpetrator will go to hell
And pray to God, the truth,
the historians will tell
That the enemy is close, they
are near us and pretending to be our friends, our neighbors and everything
false
So they can cut us down with
terror, behind our backs, as the media is silent, afraid to offend those who
reckons these calls
As the country’s leaders,
except one, bow their heads and pray
For these five brave men who
died in ambush and defenseless way
White was the face of those
who felt the pain of the bullet that pierced the heart covered with honor and
glory
A heart solid gold, filled
with courage and loyal to God, duty and country, just as promised a long time
ago
An allegiance, an oath that they
took to protect the soil of enemies afar, they did not see the enemy, as he
cowardly hid
There was no doubt in their
heart, the devotion would not part
His family, his love for God
and fulfill his promise to serve forever
Not knowing the words of
surrender, giving or quitting ever
Blue was the sky of the
morning of death and sorrow
Looking up from the ground, they
saw the face of God
Telling them they will live
forever, seeing the last of mortals around him
It was the last thing they saw
before the clouds of heaven took him
No more blood, no more pain,
no more sorrow
As they live eternally, and
lives as each day from here on in is tomorrow
Stars of glory, shine so
brightly in the summer nights
Nothing more pure than as they
are lit up by the moon’s bright beam
While down below, a face, a
frown or a tear so sadly streams
A banished sadness, something
we often don’t understand
For the courage to protect and
defend this precious land
as time has ended all their
vanished dreams
Throughout the night, you can
see the bald eagle soaring
Rising quickly, and flying
with celestial ease
Following the moist warm wind
and monsoon breeze
Our conscience alert, our
hands on our guns as we stand there
Ready to fight, with all our
might, and defend the red, white and blue
