A Chapter by Glen Yumang Manese


A. K. A. F. A. D. Series V: One Nation, Under God

Raise you right hand,

Do you solemnly swear to support & defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign & domestic?

Yes, I do...

I am sending out an S. O. S. :
(Message in a bottle)
Save Our Ship, America...

You can ignore me,
You cannot ignore what I have to say, o say can you see,
You cannot take away my Freedom of Speech,
I Honored my Commitment,
Beseech the Courage to out do the Lion Kings,
Made peace with the Tin Soldiers,
Even the Scarecrows have brains,
Awards & medals do not mean much to me, 20 years too late,
Acknowledgement, I was there on those days, never missed a date,
Faith tells me, I stood on the pilgrimage of Christ,
Twice, I embarked on this voyage,
Coinage, no other words to explain,
Disdain by the sacrifice, teaches you, blessed are the Peacemakers,
At the same time, you are an Undertaker,
Where is the Press, any takers,
That I call this Assembly,
Freely, to Petition on my behalf,

I am sending out an S. O. S. :
(Message in a bottle)
Save Our Ship, America...

I have to look back, way back,
History teaches you,
Who you become over time,
Hands of time cannot go back,
React, so you do not repeat,
Heartbeat, I got from that place,
From how I got to this point,
Place & point drop down like a dime,
So sublime, this is my life now,
How I got here does not matter,
How I am still here does, hollar!
Shipwrecked seems a positive,
All negatives come at you, abjective
Who knew, SOS would take 1 score,
More than 9 years later to be found,
Confound by anger & resentment,

I am sending out an S. O. S. :
(Message in a bottle)
Save Our Ship, America...

Confinement from the evidence,
Concealment from the truth,
Down to the fundamental root,
Moot goes on for a long expedition,
Destination unknown, does not exist,
Miss opportunities traded off,
Soft landing, not...so much hardship,
Nothing left, except U. S. SHIP,
Conscript by the faithful & forward,
Onward to the actions of politics
Ethics are out the window,
Widows conform the divorce,
Force with the duty or the choice,
Voices distant, afar from the L Zone,
Cellphones are not permitted here,
Fear the aftermath, when the dust clears,

I am sending out an S. O. S. :
(Message in a bottle)
Save Our Ship, America...

Sincere, not...so much censorship,
Chip away the days, faze & dazed,
By the plight of the sun's haze,
Amazing grace, cast away the afterthought.
