    "OUR COUNTRY"

    OUR COUNTRY STANDS ON THE FOUNDATION ON WHICH IT WAS
    BUILT AND WITH OUT THIS FOUNDATION IT WOULD BE CAST------
    AWAY TO DIE AND WILT. WHAT IS THIS FOUNDATION I SPEAK OF
    THAT HOLDS US TOGETHER WITH SUCH A MIGHTY GRASPING --
    HAND? IT IS TOGETHERNESS WITH GOD AND OUR FELLOW--------
    MAN.

    BUT THE ENEMY HAS FOUND OUT OUR SECRET AND HAS ---------
    SET OUT TO WASH IT AWAY, BY ADVOCATING VIOLENCE ----------
    AMOUNG OUR PEOPLE NIGHT AND DAY.

    OUR COUNTRY CANNOT AND MUST NOT STAND-BY WHILE THEY
    DELIVER SUCH A DEADLY CRUSH, OR THEY SHALL INDEED -----
    SUCCEED IN THEIR PLAN TO BURY US.
    GLEN A. HORSLEY
    VIETNAM VET. 1968

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
