For a hero

When you give your life for another. These people are the Angels waiting in heaven.

                                       

          Beautiful American

        (For Rachel Corrie. A human shield protecting woman and children.) 
                                                      

 
Just a woman.
 
She gave her heart to people far from her home.
 
Stood in front of guns and machines to save lives.
 
Protecting innocent people from.
 
The War machine in the hidden parts of the world from the world's eye sight.
 
She stood in front of a building.
 
Was crushed and die by Israel machinery.
 
Her life was lost for woman/men.
 
Who call her the Beautiful American..

                ( Need to go to her site. Rachel  Corrie.
                People like her are the real Angels in a life.
                They died for peace.)

Author's Note

We can' t get blinded by hate. When the beaten dog because the abuser. Holding hate and death over another nation. Maybe the country need to look deeply at their goals. I pray for peace in the middle east. Rachel Corrie went with faith and love and die for strangers. She is a true hero we need to remember her and many more.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The poem was lovely, and no greater love than sacrificing oneself for others. I to hope that peace comes to the middle east, such tragedies should not go on. I still don't understand why we just can't get along, but some still have that love for power inside them. You should post this on Facebook if you have an account.

You have strong important points to get across to the reader. I do agree that Rachel Corrie is a true hero and we need more people in this world like Rachel Corrie insteas of seldfish people. Someone who was born with a heart full of love and care. I think many people will remember her and inspire her.

a meaningful and relevant issue... and well executed... only thing, i'd prefer "and" or "or" instead of "/" in between "women" and "men"
a great poem.

A true hero, this Beautiful American. What would happen if more of us stood up for what we believe, is it possible that we can stand together? To give ones life is the ulimate gift... Thank you for reminding us of the true heros in this world.
