Filtered Reality

“Filtered Reality” - by J. Samuelson Copyright©2001 09/12

I’d swear this is a dream
God, how can this all be?
It’s like a living nightmare
In this Filtered Reality.

Nothing as it seems
Stunning silent cries
A nation blind with fear
Streaming from our eyes.

Brave, amazing souls
Rushed to save our kind
Died with dignity
Left loved ones behind.

A country gripped with panic
A shock to all who see
Can’t make it all sink in
In this Filtered Reality.

Finally the smoke clears
Our jaws are opened wide
Stunned by deadly pictures
But God is on our side.

I’m numb, I can’t imagine
What these monsters must be like
To kill without a conscience
We’ll be the next to strike.

This time we stand together
The world will watch it all
They think that they have killed us
But we know, they will fall.

This day will be forever
A day frozen in time
The pain our country’s feeling
No reason and no rhyme.

Thank you to the people
The rescuers, that we see
We’re praying for your safety
In this Filtered Reality.

Our hearts go out to those lost
In heaven you must be
We’re praying from our hell
In this Filtered Reality.
