A Day of Apprehension

A Day of Apprehension


By Elton Camp


It has now been ten years since the terrorist attack
The news channels to that time are taking us back


Through the years, no matter how the authorities try
They haven’t stopped violence by people willing to die


There are those who think with virgins to have a date
If only they carry out their orders and don’t do it late


Today, will death and destruction once again prevail
As some high profile target they proceed to assail?


Each time I tune to CNN, it is with considerable fear
That of yet another terrorist attack I’m going to hear
