A Year in America

A year has gone by
Since that September morning
I will never forget that day
As I sat at my desk
They struck without warning
And I fell to my knees to pray
Because of violence
Because of hate
All of those lives were lost
Trying to crush "The American Dream"
Terrorizing many a northern state
It was such a horrible cost
They killed many that morning
But what they don't understand
Is "The American Spirit" is within
Cowards, they were
They attacked our fair land
This is one war we won't let them win
"The American Way"
It's ingrained in us from birth
It's something they can't take away
Our way of life continues
Realizing its precious worth
We must continue on today.

It is true that september 11th was a tragedy to all humanity, however, while we are on our knees in prayer... let's remember forgiveness, understanding, and thankfulness. To go around in spite and anger, wanting retalliation, blowing up towns and bunkers where innocent people sleep,that is just as bad as flying a plane into a building full of people. Focus on love, health, forgiveness, and healing, and you will have gotten the message the bible has tried to portray. Finally... remember that our nation is yet to come... and although we as Americans try to live up to the values of love, peace, freedom, and liberty... we are not a perfect country and make more mistakes then are ever told to us. No, our country is yet to come on that great day when The Lord returns. Untill then, our loyalties have to be focused on that time to come, and trying to make this country as good as that one will be. Bless you and may God teach you the path of true righteousness. |
