This is the first poem I've put on here.  I hope you like it!

Flashes of America

Lightning thunder a crash then America falls.

The Flag!  A Broken Flag!  The Flag of Moloch!

Sways in the wind soaked in rain broken by light in the night!

Bones soaked by the tears of America.

United by love destroyed by the same.

            Night turns to day by the Illumination!

I am deafened!  Where is my son?

            Is he drowning in sand!

I am sick!  They will fight where to put the sick child!

In the Cathedral’s infirmary or the scientist’s lab!

Let me stay wrapped in the cries of muzzled Dogs!

Wow..great...Can you explain the meaning of your poem to me? :D

Well, I wrote it while sitting on my porch at 1:30 am watching a powerful thunderstom thrash my neighbors American flag around, so that's what lines 1-6 are about, lines 7-8 are about the War in Iraq, line 9 is the dissovltion of the heathcare system, and line 10 is the classic science vs religion.  Hope that helps!

Wow..It is has a great rhythm. :D

And the maning is quite interesting.

i don't think that this should be read silently to yourself - rather it should be shouted manically into the blowing wind and driving rain!
