Securing United States Secrets Poem by James McLain

In shadows veiled, secrets reside,
Whispered tales where darkness hides.
Beneath the flag's protective shield,
United States' most guarded field.

Cryptic codes locked in vaults deep,
Whispers echoed, secrets to keep.
Eyes that watch, ears that listen,
Guarding truths, the nation's mission.

Nuclear codes, a lethal dance,
Hidden plans, a covert stance.
Silent whispers of classified might,
Shielded by stars, veiled from sight.

Stealthy crafts, invisible flight,
Evasive maneuvers in dead of night.
Covert operations, unknown terrain,
Soldiers trained to bear the strain.

Dossiers marked 'Top Secret' and sealed,
Strategic plots, yet to be revealed.
Unseen technologies, cutting-edge might,
The vanguard of defense, out of sight.

Within the fog, clandestine minds scheme,
Shielding the nation, like a patriot's dream.
In hallowed halls, guarded by trust,
Lie the secrets that safeguard, a nation's thrust.

Yet with solemn hearts, we must be aware,
That secrets wield power, with utmost care.
For in the balance of truth and deceit,
Lies the destiny of a nation complete.
