Been seeking to prevent a hot civil war in #USA for years now. #Information #wars have taken hold & sought to warn others … it’s all so tiring 🫂

Seems appropriate though to share this #verse …

Red: Star Spangled Banner : In 1861, #poet Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. penned an unofficial fifth verse during the beginning of the #AmericanCivilWar looking hopefully at the emancipation of slaves.

When our land is illumed with #Liberty's smile,

If a foe from within strikes a blow at her glory,

Down, down with the traitor who dares to defile

The flag of her stars and the page of her story!

By the millions unchained when our birthright was gained,

We will keep her bright blazon forever unstained!

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave

While the land of the free is the home of the brave!
