Both

What nobody understands is we are in love like nobody else 
Like a wedding band on train track 
Like a marching song in the confederate band that never reached the sea

Like the French who staked their claim outside that Caribbean town 
Like the mission to Atlanta that never ended but sent my brother to bender knee 

What nobody understands is how we can love tomorrow and fight each other for free 
Ain’t a bout the money but how you see and I can fall then you pick up the little pieces those prices we pay for finding someone who loves not like you but just like me. 

Just like the battle of Stone Mountain was lost at Gettysburg 
And the stand Stalin took when nobody was right or wrong 

No right or wrong just we rode a starship and we smile as I write this and you lay under a handmade blanket because one things for sure , we will wake up and nobody else love like you taught me when I was weak and now your struggling all I know is how to love like you have always loved me.

The descriptions used in the lines here were fantastic. I remember going with a history field trip to Gettysburg. It was an amazing trip, we saw the battle fields, were introduced to the war hero’s, music and other culture. 

I like this poem, much better than the one I read previous. 

It may need further revision, with some minor punctuation/grammatical issues/capitalization. 

Good job. 

Thanks for sharing your work.
