For Fortunate Sons

--

There is often talk

Of the rocket’s red glare,

But there is little mention

Of the blood spilt there.

Just as sunset’s shadow

Falls across the spot,

It is a thing to wonder

What those men must have thought.

It wasn’t just tea in the harbor,

It was a bit more of a fight.

But did the punishment fit the crime?

I’m not quite sure it’s right.
