A Nation of Fighters

We are no longer ordinary human beings,
Nine Eleven, The Iraqi War,
and Oil Spills, have turned us into a nation
of survival fiends,
A nation of fighters,
excelling beyond the boundaries that
have been set or the traps that we have
met along the way, from the youngest to the oldest,
We have learned to endure and overcome 
the hand of devastation that the enemies have dealt,
and although they have left their welts upon us,
We stll exist.........
