[hometext] => I am a native New Yorker. Lived here all my life. Sept 11th was a very difficult time for me. Yesterday, the FBI found a "terrorist cell", existing 30 minutes away from my hometown. Hense, this write. Sorry if it's choppy , or doesn't make any sense to you.
[bodytext] => I've always prided myself on tolerance
Other religions, color and race But with this latest revelation It's been like a major slap in the face I've always been basically trusting Now I'm forced to change my view Terrorists living among us Trouble's REALLY beginning to brew They were born in this fair country Every freedom, allowed to enjoy Brought up as American children As adults, their intent to destroy People say "Don't be so quick to judge" That's not such an easy task For years they've lived an ordinary life Hiding their hatred behind a mask I myself can't understand this hatred So how do I explain it to my kids? "Mom, why are they trying to hurt the innocent?" "Isn't this something God forbids?" I feel lost in this new lifetime of terror Like a child needing to be led by the hand No matter how much I try to analyze it It remains something I can't understand Is it that my mind is shutting down on me? Am I an idiot, who can't comprehend? I try to take each day as it comes Feels like I'm gunna break before I bend Life is always changing But it will never feel the same Finding terrorists living among us Insecure is what I've became I find life spinning out of control At times I feel rather crazy Familiar faces - friend or foe? What was once clear is now hazy.

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. ©
