Patriot Game
(little boy soldiers)

Proud little boys dressed in tiny big-boy uniforms;
just another version of Cowboys and Indians.

I remember the war … another place another time.
The oldest noble profession is a young man’s job.

But these skills last forever … rusted trophies of a misspent youth.

Where does this power come from?
Even now the love of that idea burns in me;

and those five simple words can drop me to my knees.
Oh say can you see … and my eyes … they know;

as oceans burst forth in a welling fountain.

No one loves peace more than a true soldier
for they know too well the alternative.

A country is not its government … it’s the people;
but even that is not enough to ignite the patriot love.

It’s an idea … a look in a father’s eyes … a straightening
of grandfather’s back as the parade marches by.

No sound is louder than the rustling wind through a flag …
whispering voices lost long ago.

We stand vigilant and face the demons of the darkness …
to proud to fear … or cry.

There be dragons out there … but worry not fair maiden.

Heroism is just stupidity … with a cause;
brilliantly blind bluster of youthful ignorance;

derived from love and distilled from honor.
Each oak cask aged from the past and armored in the knight.

The tracks of my love leak stains of salt
in a sea swollen with tears.

I would spill my blood for you America
and yet I still do not know who you are.

If you call, I will stand.
For in my chest is the beat of a billion hearts;

and in my ears are the cries of a trillion voices …
hushed by a single sigh.

But in my head is a solitary proud thought of clarity.
I am a patriot and this country is the home of my liberty.

Freedom shall not fall on my watch.

Lucian

Cuba

Havana Sunrise

The sun rises slowly
leisurely peeking over the Atlantic horizon.

A golden globe of life shimmering over the ancient uncut
emerald jewel of the new world.

And under the glorious spotlight of dawn …
I see Cuba.

Her pain and solitude bared before me
in the eyes of her children;

and etched in the faces of those who remember
when it was different.

The price of self-determination can be its own prison.
And yet Cuba still smiles … and loves … and bleeds to belong.

Shunned by a big brother unable to forgive her audacity.
Hated by lost sons and daughters and cousins still living in the past.

But what seems pride is only resilience.
This venerable beauty has survived Columbus,
and the Conquistadors,
and the Pirates,
and the Robber Barons,
and the Russians … and she will survive me.

But I still can’t answer her lonely burning question.
Why?

Lucian
