Aftershock

The depraved man has been dispatched
But he leaves behind his spawn
And some of the dreadful plans he hatched.
The evil still lives on.
Our heros stand tall night and day
In protection of the The USA. 

By: Joyce Johnson 9/9/11

For Constance LaFrance contest  "Six Lines of Poetry, Please"


Constance did not think it worth even an hm.

Of course this was right after he had been killed.  Maybe the impact not so strong now.

Oh my, a whole new perspective on bin Laden's legacy, Joyce. Indeed, his evil remains and we owe our soldiers a debt of gratitude. Best wishes in Constance's contest, dear. Love, Carolyn
