A heedless world implodes beneath the weight and all the West lies smoldering in flames. And nay a soul finds shelter from the hate as dire evil seeks intended aims. The despot waves of fire and iron roll upon whomever lies within his path. The gravity of war has taken toll and half the globe is swallowed in its wrath. But darkness slowly...

As solitude neglects the Harbor door the Heavens fill with vengeance from the sky, and all below can only watch them soar for crippled decks were useless to defy. The devastation rendered from the clouds destroyed the birds of war that sat below. They turned to ash beneath the fiery shrouds thus, never to ascend to face their foe. But ‘tis in lore...

Beneath the ash its morals face defeat as segregation separates is corps. The scars outline a union incomplete and wounds define its failure to restore. Though rally calls have filled a Nation’s heart and motivation fueled its vast machine, supremacy held unity apart and nothing but conceit lay in between. But still a Nation mustered to the rail as casualty arose from ‘neath the...

P Propelled into the war after tora, tora, tora. E Escalation arrives in Oahu, paradise explodes. A Amorous and hula skirts set aflame at once. R Reveal of a takeover plan, pot shots extreme. L Lucid nightmare lit with oil and screams. H Hear it! Smell the scent that still reminds us A About...

Remember Pearl Harbor Seventy-eight Years Ago By Franklin Price 12/07/2019 Seventy-eight years ago, At the rising of the sun Came the day of infamy; Our present times begun The sleeping giant awakened, To become the greatest power Would take four years and many lives To have our finest hour A country made for freedom, For each citizen to choose, Stood up to be counted, Still the biggest in...

Remembering Pearl Harbor By Franklin Price 12/7/2015 Remembering Pearl Harbor It was nineteen forty one The signs were staring at us The holocaust begun Fanatics taking over From sea to shining sea The masses were ignoring The war that was to be It was early in the morning The bombers flying in Sinking ships and killing The fighting to begin Not a lot of difference Of what we're going through The...

My Thought's of Pearl Harbor
During the time of our sleep When not even mice would make sounds The planes they did creep Hunting their targets like savage hounds And when they struck The ground it rumbled There was no time to duck As the ships crumbled Men and women died that day Which made many families blue They had awaken the USA Even though we started World War Two That day...

Pearl Harbor
We All Know Pearl Harbor And the Devastation There. The Men and Women That We Lost, Was Very Hard to Bear. We Were Taken by Surprise, So Many Things Went Wrong. But the Memories Will Live, Even Though It's Been So Long. There Are Those That Did Survive, To Live Another Day, To Wonder How it Happened, A Price They Have to Pay. Even Though Time Has...

The Ballad of Pearl Harbor
Just sitting there mighty The ships and the people. Flying American Flags and the eagle. Just sitting in harbor That Sunday morn, Oblivious to battle And coming forlorn. Drinking their coffee And eating their breakfast Things were going Right along with their wishes When suddenly a soldier Did speak up and say, "They're some blips on the radar And they're coming our way!" Then the officer said "Now look here you...

Pearl Harbor Day
Sunday, December the seventh, In the year of 1941, While most of Hawaii still slept, Came the planes of the Rising Sun. Waves of bombers and fighters flew, From the decks of the Japanese ships. While our planes were still on the ground, "Banzai" was spoken from their lips. The winds of war had been blowing Across the oceans of...
