Veteran's Day Tribute

I personally would like to thank all of our Veterans for their sacrifices for our country.  To those who have served, to those who have died, to those who yet live with their battle scars and to those who continue to serve. Thank you.  What price freedom?  It is my personal prayer that one day the wars will end and we will find peace.  It is a dream long fought for and long awaited by the many who yet fight for their inalienable rights.

         

                   When?

  

Loving one another has been no easy task

So these questions I ask,

When will there be peace

When will hatred cease?

When will we right our wrongs,

And learn to get along?

Man’s biggest mistake

Has been harboring hate.

How many must lose their life?

How many must pay the price?

When will we take a stand?

When will we prove we can?

When will we be free

From hatred and bigotry?

When will we conquer the demons inside our head?

When will we end the bloodshed?

When will the healing begin?

The question is when?

How many must lose their life?

How many must pay the price

Before we can stand

Hand and hand?

When will there be no weapons of mass destruction to fear

No heartaches and tears,

No color bars

No more wars?

When will the fighting end?

When will the healing begin?

When will there be peace?

When will hatred cease?

When will we  look one another in the face

And feel no disgrace?

When will the hatred end?

The question is when?
