Recession

a world fighting with its own bank
a plane that flew into your towers was an attack on your ability
to have success with your commerce
stocks and bonds and free trade
america at the center of this
your bank being held hostage by the worst type of robbers

you are not as poor as you think you are
many terrorised outside of those who make any difference with this
the news being used against you to seek out the people who know what they are doing
to help the situation

you are not burning your money
just losing track of it
physically and digitaly

the attack on the trade center has affected everybody
many unable to do their jobs
because those at the center of your global econmy
are hardpressed to figure out how the world is getting robbed

A global book fight
over the first generation history books you know as bibles
fighting over beliefs and previous happenings you misunderstand
these history books are your case against god and your will to do good
your will to do good no longer needs to be a weapon of mass destruction
the realisation mankind may not be perfect and will make mistakes along their road to 
success
there is never success without failure
through failing you realise you tried and what was important to you
learn from your mistakes and try again
it might be easier the second go round
