On the anniversary of the SS Columbia mishap, and at a time when the transformational Obama regime has no qualms on transforming NASA into a vehicle of outreach to the Mulim World, it behooves to revisit and reiterate our homage to the Columbia crew who had rendered the last measures of their devotion to the cause of liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the proposition on which this America we inherited from our Founding Fathers, have flourished for more than two centuries which is now being mortally threatened by the machinations of the statist Obama regime. So once again, I beg your indulgence to share with you the sentiments which I rendered in verse, minutes after I learned of the mishap.
God bless you and God Bless America.
================================
<*> <*> <*>
For you, the valiant heirs of Prometheus,
Of Liebnitz, Kepler, and Copernicus,
We mourn our lose but celebrate the cause
That cost the ultimate measure of your
Devotion, proclaimed in blazing glory,
And sealed your rendezvous with Destiny.
In votive gratitude and homage pledge
To keep your torch aflame and let endure
Ages of unbegot posterity.
So every fragment that your ship had strewn
Would our ambitions amply leverage
And claim your vintage courage as our own:
All wholesome sacrifice to Liberty
The ransom price for immortality!
