A
thundering vigil of truth, trust and honor
Of
brothers chained, forgotten and denied
Thank
God the sounds of Rolling Thunder
Grow
louder than the presidents who lied.
Forgotten heroes made to be remembered
By a
nation that sacrificed their souls to war.
This
roaring fire of freedom- from just an ember
A
brother's promise- brought from near and far.
A parade
of truth, Memorial Bridge is sighted
Old
Glory's promise flying in the wind
Tatooed
Angels, CEOs, GI Joes united
Cry
"Freedom! We have not forgotten them!"
The run
to The Wall where many secrets slumber
Names,
roses, gifts and loved ones' tears
On
Capitol Hill they're only just a number
Lost
names no politician ever hears.
They
thunder past the bridge at Arlington
Phantom
soldier coffins, row on row,
False
tombs holding paper fathers, sons
While
secret sins of betrayal rest below.
Past the
White House, flag of POW/MIAs
Somber
black, head bowed, a prisoner of the past.
Rolling
Thunder's promise will never go away
Until
their missing brothers -come home at last
