New Hampshire



New Hampshire

September clear, no clouds in Our sky
Stars and stripes back turned, crescent moon rise in full cry
Champions so tall, gleaming so proud
Flashes in the morning was death out of its shroud

Anger and justice became shock and awe
It moved from the Khyber to the Hanging Gardens of yore
Devastation, miscalculation and complete reconfiguration
Once more Barbary War was a conflagration

There can’t be accommodation with the heirs of Qtub
Divinity cults worshipping death is the irrational cube
Rational action requires justice shatter that structure
So long after has seen weakness and political stricture

There’s no choice but to “Live Free or Die”
Cry now for there’ll be no time when the “Bells Toll for Thee”
Look at the children playing so happily
There’s a cost to be America, let go the Brave and the Free
