They Got Em

i heard from the president
news of the desent
of the present
demise of the enemy
no longer will he be
a sigh of diplomacy
or any sigh of false liberty
they got that SOB
dead in Pakistani
osama been laden
the scurge of history




("been" as in past tense)

A powerful write, John, and how creatively you used "been" instead of "bin." Please keep the prayers coming, dear friend. Love and blessings, Carolyn

"there are none so enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free"...if only it were true that bin laden was responsible for the attacks I would be as happy as the next person to see him gone; alas the real perpetrators are still very much alive and a lot closer to home...

A proud day for America and our armed forces and the end result of this evil man's demise.. even throwing him into the ocean was too good for his burial.. hope none other arise to take his place to torment those who enjoy Godly freedom luv..
