Array ( [sid] => 13363 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => It Is The Soldier [time] => 2003-02-26 15:00:00 [hometext] => This is a poem I found while wandering through the internet. It isn't mine but I found it to be very true. [bodytext] => It is the soldier
Not the reprter who has given us freedom of press
It is the soldier
Not the poet who has given us freedom of speech
It is the soldier
Not the campus organizer who gives us freedom to demonstrate
It is the soldier who salutes the flag
Who serves the flag
And whose coffin is draped by the flag
Who allows the protester to burn the flag

I agree with everything that has already been said thanks for sharing it.

Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
