Flight Ninety-Three



Flight Ninety-Three

Emotions so high, ready are tears to fly
But no tears arrive, only sad emotion with angry sighs
That Fall day became fallen prey
Evil swept thru’ with bravery alone to defend the day

A field now in Pennsylvania is burial ground where those heroes stay
A quiet memorial that marks what they did that September day
Religious evil tried to crash into the Capitol, the citadel of Liberty
Americans decided Masada rather than fate’s death in slavery

How calm and quiet it is now in that field
Black and charcoal stone are like pictures from old
Engraved names tell who the heroes were that day when they won for America
Tended by park rangers with reverence and love, let us and all those that fight for Liberty, remember

Each year those families gather and feel the presence of their loved ones gone forever
It is sacred ground now, where they all lay together
It has the essence of a battle ground, where American patriots fought those from the horde
One day the war will be one, but we will always tell of that morning when the  thirty-three fought and died
