Relying On Terror poem?

Question

Relying On Terror (The First Tick)

By Semper Fi Reborn

Let us remember Tuesday,

September 11, 2001.

All those who went to work,

And never came home.

How those who came home

Would never be the same.

How we have a different view

Of airports and airplanes.

September 10th we could fly

Without giving it a thought.

But the next day, Tuesday,

Freedom would be lost.

Let freedom ring! Let freedom rise!

The price paid in blood,

Each time someone dies,

For the red, white, and blue.

For the stars and the stripes.

For the lives that were lost,

For the tears shed that night.

Over three thousand families,

Waited by the phone,

Just to hear that mom or dad,

Can't come home.

Now a sad memory,

An American Tragedy,

Exploited for gain!

An American Travesty!

You embarrass me,

That you'd embellish on the souls,

Of those who died young,

Of those that died old.

You hypocritical liars,

Government mask wearers!

How dare you try to rise,

By relying on terror!

Answer 1

This is very intense! I still get tears in my eyes when I think back to that horrible, horrible day.

Answer 2

Thank you, Semper, for targeting it so well.

Flowers.

Answer 3

That is the most intensely emotionally beautiful poem I have ever read. It has  great message, and it'll stay in my heart and in the heart's of others forever...

Answer 4

This poem sounds as if TD had written it.  This is the highest compliment I can pay anyone on Mars.  I am in awe of the structure, content, and vocabulary of this poem.  It shows what a person can do when he feels deeply about a situation.

Answer 5

I thought that was a great satirical and yet serious poem; you should contribute it to a remberance or political criticism site.

Answer 6

Bravo! No others words from me are needed.

Just another question, what is the definition of a traitor and

a trader.

Jefferson, "Merchants have no country."

Answer 7

When will the next revolution occur?

How long will people put up with politicians and politics?

How long can people bury there brains in mud and ignore what is happening around them?

How long will we put Animal abusers in prison and let murderers and child molesters walk the streets?

How long?

I thought of writing this as a rhyming poem, but I like the impact better this way.

Answer 8

wow. . . that was AWESOME! Thanks for sharing this and giving me a chance to read it! it shows true loyalty to the Red White and Blue, and true disgust at those that would try(and do) and manipulate it from the inside(along with the out side)

I couldn't put this poem on a rating scale because in my opinion it would be off the chart!!

kinda like this 1,000,000,000/100.
