[title] => 9/11: THE ANNIVERSARY OF DESPAIR AND HOPE

[hometext] =>
[bodytext] => 9/11 was the work of the cold-blooded Of those who lost their souls to hate 9/11 stunned America and the world When solutions came too late Too many problems left too long Too much pain and so much more In a wicked world a wicked act was born Into our hearts those planes did soar Which lessons were now to be learnt to decide the fate of our world? To achieve a world of justice? Or just more death to be unfurled? The road took two ways The families knew this so well They asked for true justice Not just more violent hell Out of the hell of 9/11 Just one bright possibility came That an international consensus might end this terror shame One tiny chance fuelled by so much goodwill One possible hope in the midst of deathly chill That the world together keeping JUSTICE firmly in mind Could finally unite together And gain a PEACEFUL Mankind Sadly through lies This was not to be The chance was sadly lost in deceitful indignity Lies were used to swerve off course The families were betrayed They prayed against this force They prayed for simple justice Without more pain, suffering and death They had seen far too much of that to the ending of our Earth...
