Church V. Military Funerals, U.S. Supreme Court Rules 8-1 Poem by Luke Easter

What makes a nation strong? What makes it weak?
Wallow in the valley, sit atop the mountain’s peak?
It’s the basic foundation, military power and might,
As strength is essential, lasting glory relies in, Right.

When country’s rise from the bottom to the very top,
There is an element of sacrifice, no nation can stop,
Death! The soldiers who give their lives in victory,
Where blood of the brave is shed only by necessity.

Now comes this fundamentalist, “Baptist Church, ”
Quoting the 1st Amendment no matter who it hurts,
Anti-military slurs at funerals they use and display,
The U.S. Supreme Court agrees with what they say.

If Hitler, Stalin, Mao or Saddam were in control,
Would there be, “free speech” 2 words, “Hell no! ”
Only! Justice Samuel Alito dissented in this case,
While the remaining 8 agreed in national disgrace.

The first Amendment shields the protesters from?
A sputtering AK-47, a full fledged machine gun?
Death from an RPG, Rocket Propelled Grenade?
Full body gear useless,110 degrees in the shade.

Those lower court judges and Supreme Court alike,
How many have seen brains scattered in a fire-fight?
A chest blown wide open, limb lost, gushing blood?
Color dark red in abundance, like the Katrina flood?

The mistake in New Orleans, we’ll clean it up. Oops!
Not with the un-natural disaster of U.S. fallen troops,
Justice Roberts, “we must protect even hurtful speech, ”
But, in disrespect to families of those buried six deep?

Send protesters overseas, click their heels 2,3 times,4,
Tell them, “sorry Dorothy, were not in Kansas anymore, ”
Get ready for MRE’s, whereas, there is no grocery store,
And no marching in tennis shoes, your feet will be sore.

As this is viewed by minors the word can only be one,
And so, as not to be improper the bible says, “Dung! ”
In places like Russia, Iran, the old Iraq they’d be hung,
Oh hold on to your horses, free speech is all I’ve done.
