9-11

I hope you’re not to weary of what I have to say Because I must ask this question before I close today 9/11 and its aftermath I’m confused so help me please 2900 lost that day nothing at which to sneeze 6000 dead more on other shores 43,000 wounded So the question haunting in my mind like a clarion sounded “One Nation under God”, isn’t that the umbrella of how we are founded I’m curious what if what was done came from that sage advice What if our leaders tried and they applied that holy guide Stood up and bravely stated We’re sorry for your pain please tell why we are so hated What can we do let us help you I promise we truly care Amazement in the world and respect for our response Those killers would face the world and their derisive taunts Every effort extended to fulfill the words of our umbrella Only in that’s failure should we tell them fella What comes next will be truly awful We’ll come at you and here’s what we will do So please take our hand let us help you stand or face your extinction Because at one borders door you will hear our roar and to the other border we shall march Your nation will fail to exist you won’t get to sleep… your nation we will keep You will be no more signs that Iraq and Afghanistan used to say, they now display welcome to the USA Seems far more logical than endless non-resolution…and oh the corruption death and despair…get it done or don’t go.
