Caught up ...in the crossfire

life

America…

The beautiful…

Whose great rise…

Brought different peoples

From every corner

To do difficult things

…together…

However imperfectly

The foundation was laid

Fortunes forecast forged …in blood

Rose …higher, shone brighter…

Almost perfectly …played…

A rising star…

Born of turbulence  

…and acts of war…

In ages where those

Whose momentum

Was forged in…

Conquest

Was due …for

Turbulence ahead

For others, more of

 The same  …allies,

Met axis… on

The world stage

Not once…

But twice…

War never went

So far left…

Fought over air

Land, over and

…undersea,  

Touched space

…met God... 

Launched fortunes

…fair and bright

For those whose

 Mortgage at high interest

…for a piece of the beautiful dream

Made up of the best team

 Diversity …could muster

Somewhere lost

In the hustle …

Between

Guilt and innocence

…both…

Bought shares…

Though...

Neither sum

Would

…be a loss

…In the balance

Each

Bears a cost
