Poem of The Day – Share An Umbrella

SHARE AN UMBRELLA

It’s a rainy day inside
without no place to hide
PRO WAR ANTI WAR
A blue bird gets all choked up
bridges fallen down

When it is time to share an umbrella
Will We?
Would We?
Could We?

I sure do hope so.

********************
I wrote this after the Iraq war started. I never supported the war. I was strongly against the war before it started. After the war started, being a veteran, I strongly believed we had to support the president in a time of war and I tried to make those who would protest understand.

After Bush declared victory on the air craft carrier, well then I began to ask that our soldiers come home and then I slowly became a peace protestor myself.
