Fabric of America, a Day Without Heart, September 11, 2001

It was an insanely barbaric act, from the enemies shrewd heart
They came here to dismantle our souls apart

The two dark planes, hit hard, as it penetrated our lifeless skies of blue space
Leaving many without family, loved ones and others without a trace

As the flickering fire and smoke swirled upward as a tornadoes flume, some fell to their doom
Below the stunning, lifeless, faces, looked up, it became a day of total gloom

The days thereafter, there was an unknown sight
As the smokey clouds of death cleared, a Sun so bright

It's now time to gather around and bury our dead
We had to empower ourselves to do so, with powerful dread

Those that once did not believe in GOD
They were soon embracing the prints of Bible pages, with a deep prod

A Nation in deep sympathy, with an outcry, 'Let's Strike Back'
1095 days have past, our President announces, 'Off To IRAQ'

The unjust act, brought about blending of Soldiers, whose mission to hit with veracity
We will not go quietly into the night, our stance is strike with tenacity

Today our Nation is healed and Patriotism is growing at a steady pace
If ever a WAR of all WARS prevails, we will destroy the total human race.

To all of the viewers who read my poem, I have enscripted this jewel as a 'Free Verse", and until I gather all of my poetry together, I will have some more to add to the soup.....I am excited about being here on this site, and further prose will be echoed across the parchment, with which my God gave me the strength to do so.
