Poster poetry: A poem I sent the NYT as an op-ed

A poem I sent the NYT as an op-ed
Anthem

Oh’ say can you see
By the undying night
Which so blindly we hail
While the treachery goes flying
Whose blood stripes and black stars
Through the execrable fight
The rampant we watch
As their eyes wildly are gleaming
And the rockets explode
Foreign nations implode
The truth out of sight
The flag seals the night
O says our star spangled banner of fate
For the land of the free
And the home of the daze

I dunno Kristen, the Star Spangled Banner is somehting like 45 lines long in total, can you expand it a bit to flesh out what you are really trying to say?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

I could, but I used the lyrics most memorized by the general population.

Have you seen my Ode to the Dieoff? We could make PO.com into a virtual Library of Alexandria supplying high culture for all the world. Or we could just publish and post doomer porn. :lol:
