Attack On America

Terror has gripped us with hideous sights that stay in our memories thru' long days and nights. Our flags are at half-mast, a nation that cares will all join together in grieving and prayers. Hearts are now heavy, a war has begun, we know there'll be losses of fathers and sons. Women will now serve on those foreign shores, mothers and daughters will sacrifice more. Those who are age-ed remember wars past, of many men dying for peace that must last. Terrorist strikes tried hard to succeed in wrenching our country's patriotism and creed- But there'll be no glory in what they have done to the greatest of nations under this planet's sun. They failed in their mission, we won't be denied, the right to retaliate now justified. So, people unite, be proud, also brave, they cannot defeat us for power they crave. Oh beautiful America, you always shall be a beacon in darkness, the land of the free.
