What Gave Them the Right

On this September day From the air they came Cowards in flight For what to gain Airliners hijacked For their pathetic cause The praise they choose Were religious flaws To take ones life Is not their write No where is it written Or hidden from sight A phrase i now mention Is " The Scum of the Earth " This chosen few Are just not worth Heroes and martyrs Are they supposed to be What gave them the right To attack, the land of the free What do we do In the years ahead Do we sit back and watch As they instigate dread The excuse we call oil Is now in the past For our soldiers will continue To be maimed or lost Can you imagine our countries As they attacked on mass The world needs democracy We are in it, to the last http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/america.php
