Freedom fighters, born so young.
Lion hearts, from day one.
Playing with their plastic guns,
Banishing evil from night to sun.
Freedom fighters grow to men..
they train for years,
they learn to win.
All across
the world they go,
they do it proudly,
they do what their told.
Freedom fighters.. suicide bombers
War has changed... enemies without honor,
satan's coming you better look around,
he wants to trick you, he wants you to bow down
Our Freedom fighters stand the ground!
in midst of the enemy, evil all around!
Women subdued,
no rights.. no views..
Hate is preached,
swords unleashed..
Freedom Mourns...
Like old prophets warn!
Freedom fighters brave and TRUE!
Freedom fighters we salute YOU!
Freedom fighters I want you to know,
AMERICA TRULY LOVES YOU SO!

I hope the troops can get their hands on this.....I'm sure it would help them keep their chins up when the atrocities start getting too much......honour seems to be fading from the world.....It's something we need to uphold, what is life without honour?

I love how you portray the pride for your fellow country man.
we in ireland have also stood up to bullies and fought for freedom.
Good job

hoorah!!!!

Amen brother Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like it alot
Good Job. My fear is that so few people understand terrorism that they will think they can just back away. Recent history shows us that if we give and inch, they'll take a yard. If we give the yard they'll take a mile. If we give the mile they'll be here. If we don't want to become an Islamic nation we have to fight them somewhere. It might as well be Iraq.

AP should be a place where people can have freedom of voice, freedom of choice... and if anyone doesn't like it, look elsewhere!!!
I thought this was a beautiful tribute my friend!
-
I like it.
I am not offended in fact I think this poem is overdue. It is time someone said this in the correct way. Too bad too many do not realize what is upon them.
-
I think it's great, Satan should be capitalized..and the evil thing does something to my head.. doesn't do it for me. A comma could be used in the ending stanza, after the shout out. This is a moving, inspirational piece. Nicely done, Jin
I'm not saying it's good, just that I think it could be better.
