Yesterday Poem by Sam Kegley 7/24/14

Yesterday



Shall we work or shall we play
Much depends on yesterday

Should events just fade away
or keep returnming along our way

Give us back December 7, 41
Be as if we've just begun

Hitler would expand due to our isolation
What kind of fortress would then be our nation

For the early morning of 9-11
Skipping that event would keep us in Heaven

People would still read about and admire us

But admiration always slips away

Wake this sleeping giant though
Can we make the enemies regret their yesterdays

Will GI's fight and fall with wounds
Because they felt the hurts of yesterdays

Our surrogate fighters have volunteered
and served so well

How would needed draftees fare
In the face of future battles hell

We pray for God to bless us again although
We have slipped as a nation of Christians

It won't be Noah's boat to save some species
Nor David's bow to bring down creepies

But a return to prayer won't hurt one bit
Throughout this world who've seemed to quit

As we search out a better way
To keep from dreading yesterday
