Terrorism
Seducing, compelling, emotive,fluctuating, flowing,
laced cocktail of hypocrisy.
Oracles of patriotism passionately spouted.
Flags adorning tables, roofs of buildings cars, veranda's of homes,
A nation encompassed in patriotism,
God Bless America.
Grief a waterfall,
Loss an infinity of stars,
Anger tidal waves , beating of breasts,
Cries for justice for the loss, pain,
being kicked in the gut.
Pride nests upon the shelf like dust,
Rears her head hissing,
Who do they think they are doing this to?
The greatest power in the world.
Eradicate varmints of evil,
Beating of drums,
War dances, cries, begins,
Terrorismmmmmmmmmmmm!
The demon.... lurking.... stench pervades...
BOOM.........BOOM......... BOOM................
sTOMP. STOMP....... Feet marching.
