Salute to FBI

[America]

Thanks FBI for taking care of so many complex problems and running all over the nation, and then - some - for the nation we love.

For the deceased and living:

FBI,
I LOVED you yesterday
like I loved those
Who volunteered to fight
Wars;
putting mission: rights, and, often lives,
first.
And like fireman entering
a hell-on earth
home,
although it's not their own,
and say, "It's O.k."
So who would argue, it's just
The pay?

I love you today
as I see
in some poor souls
their lonely
screams
that don't change things,
and tears,
that don't really refresh them,
Or wash the world.
And those
who like good flowers with a stand
were torn from their own land;
but you do what can be
done
and without delay.

I love you tommorrow.
And although, one by one,
you'll eventually die.
And I know there's not much
I could do; If I could...
I'd wrap every single
body
tenderly
In a U.S. flag,
so beautifully,
for one last
symbolic hug
we'd owe to
you.

And where have all the good flowers gone?
Waiting to brighten
YOUR
environment, too,
In the place you go.

Written by myself on July 3, 2001
I thought of other cops (and military), too, who protect what many of us live FOR. And I'm definitely not scared of these kind of ghosts (the dead, of course.)

A beautiful poem, as are most of yours.
