“A Day not to be Forgotten” (Iwo Jima & Darien, AU)




“A Day not to be Forgotten”

(Iwo Jima)

2/19/15

 

Waiting again to late in the day

how much has happened once

repeated in many venues again

killing in the name of warfare

sometimes on a port city Darien

others landing on island beaches

one from the aggressor from air

other from the eradicator of evil

same day same results dying

never longer taught in schools

especially in the US or Japan

while Australia honors their own

and the Americans at Darien

while the beaches wetted blood

on Iwo Jima 70 years ago known

a day not to be forgotten for some

seeing the flag once raised

yet our nation in much denial

our leaders totally ignoring costs

for some this day remembered

in the struggle for freedoms

from the tyranny of parasites

unending with different names

playing even today their games!
