The Eagle Cries: A Poem in Tribute to Our Servicemen and Women

In Response to the 911 Attack and Subsequent War

The Eagle Cries

by Charisse Van Horn

Hold the flag
Wave it high
Look up into the turquoise skies

The ash is gone
America stands
So why does the eagle cry

The nations raged
We went to war
To find the proof
To settle the score
But yet, the eagle cries

Freedom rings throughout the land
Liberty and justice is at hand
Home of the brave
Land of the free
Where people come
To live the dream
And still the eagle cries

We've pledged the pledge
We've sung the songs
We live to right
What went wrong
So why does the eagle cry

A tear

For those who've died
