A day which will live in infamy- POEM

 

December 7th,

1941,

In Hawaii,

America changed,

as souls,

perished,

in Pearl Harbor

many lives perished,

boats bombed,

by the Japanese,

and why?

The only answer,

is war

82 years of history,

under the seas,

as an American Flag,

drifts underwater,

82 years,

of history,

underwater

Japanese soldiers,

bombing ships,

as we watch,

and listen in horror

some have survived,

and still remember,

that dark day,

some still alive,

and always remember,

the day,

that changed their lives,

forever

Before that day,

the seventh of December,

it was a day,

that was known,

for getting everything ready,

of Christmas,

not yet know,

a day,

which will live,

in infamy

a day,

which is now known,

as a day,

that changed America,

FDR's speech,

rings out,

on this day,

every year,

even after his death

The history,

burned in our mind,

as one of histories,

tragedies,

82 years later,

and it is still rememberd,

even today,

a date,

which will always live,

in infamy
