[hometext] => I am a Westerner and this is not an anti American poem. I am of no religious denomination.
[bodytext] => Twas September 11 2001 The day that the U.S. Came under the gun We all watched in horror And some pondered why How a nation so mighty Could let so many die Al-Qaieda was chosen To shoulder the blame Hey, Iraqi’s are Muslim Hell, What’s in a name? An “Axis of Evil” The perfect excuse To subject Arabic people To yet further abuse An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth Good old Christian ideals In the way of the truth Iraq’s got chemical weapons And warheads too The U.S. knew this Cause they gave them a few The world said What about Children Who get killed in these wars And the thousands of troops Who’ll depart from our shores? But our great Western leaders Cast aside our concerns For we don’t know what’s best And we’re sure gonna learn Some say it’s the oil U.S. power and greed A coalition of the willing? Or are we just friends in need? .....So the war, it was waged We so called allies prevailed But we’re yet to find weapons So on that count we’ve failed And how long will it take? Is the question we ask Seems that justification’s Become quite a task And if that task is beyond us Will we admit our error? For a mistake that’s this big Can provoke only more terror Now we’re left with dilemmas Here’s just 2 to debate Is the world any safer, and..... Have we sealed our own fate?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
