Up and down in just one day
How our commerce flows

Deflecting the killing shot
Job done. As he died…

It Will Happen
Contemplating purpose…
It Will Happen
It’s happened before
And it will happen again
Need new worlds before
Moons and Dinosaurs
Or we roll the dice
Moons and dinosaurs attest
Do we go for thrice?

Sacrifice Remembered
Remembering those that serve…
Sacrifice Remembered
Finding a way to pay back
A mom with her own serving children
Works to make sacrifice remembered again
Each month they honor another so we don’t lose track
But it’s more than that
A celebration of lives
Cut short but full of life and accomplishment
And in the mission there’s one more commitment
Supporting children, husbands, and wives
Of those that served that
Need somewhere to stay while the doctors try to bring back
Their chance to live as full as they can again
Don’t let memories be lost in the din
Remember them now and after Afghanistan and Iraq

Contemplating responsibility…
Solve the Problem
We must place the blame
Why? Does that solve the problem?
Sometimes such a game
