1860 Cries From Grave's 1865 Poem by JOE POEWHIT

1860 Cries From Grave's 1865

Rating: 4.2


In lines we stood.
Cause against cause - woods.
BLUE & GREY were we.
America's hemorrhage - free.
Whitman's dead leaves abound.
Soldier's fallen upon grounds.
A free man President.
Martin King's dream - GOD sent.
Our bone's - history - time.
A light - liberty - onward shines.
CRIES FROM GRAVE'S

[[[[ I feel President Lincoln would tell
President elect, OBAMA - AMERICA -
UNION - CARRY ON ]]]]

Obama's election does seem to complete a circle. Even so, most of us who voted for him did so because he is so intelligent and exhibits so much statesmanship that he claims our trust.

Joe - String theorists are saying there is no such thing as time.1865 is now as well as 2008. Nothing happens in isolation of the past and the future. Everything is connected. Obama was meant to be, is meant to be, and will always be. Blessings - Cheryl

Each man who bore or bears the burden of the presidency Is open to criticism for his actions or inaction. No man is capable of being perfect in everbody's eye. History will judge

A nice dedication to one's country. The presidents of yesteryears grudgingly would say 'hey Obama take the rope and pass it on to the next...mind you pass it good, OK?
