The Day the Statue of Liberty Cried

THE DAY THE STATUE OF LIBERTY CRIED It was September eleventh two thousand one A day the entire world was stunned Two unopposed aircraft entered New York City Leaving a trail of death without pity Like missiles they hit the renowned Twin Towers Reducing them to rubble in a matter of hours The pilots who flew them had a mission to follow Choosing to die just to please allah They cared not a whit for the lives of others They sought the praise of their Islamic brothers At the cost of thousands of American lives Their loyalty to allah became their prize The revenge of American lives is yet unended For fear that someone may be offended The question is asked, what would we gain While the blight on America still remains Now ISIS has reared its ugly head And two American journalists are dead So acts of terrorism can't be denied It began when the Statue of Liberty cried Curtis Moorman 12 September 2014

Thanks, Gordon. See my comments on your Psalm 13 poem. I appreciate your willingness to profess and proclaim Christ as Lord and Savior.
