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.
