Peace Or War? By Del Abe Jones

Yet, another year has passed by Since, those terrorists struck our Land Even, after all this time gone by Still hard, to comprehend or understand. How can a person hate so much And be so blinded, by their belief To take their life, and so many others To cause such terror, pain, and grief ? All those folks they didn't even know Who never caused them any harm Who died while just living their lives Without, any forewarning or alarm. Sadly, since that _War_ began Many thousands more, have died And those who shed tears on Nine Eleven Just some, of too many, who have cried. The man who caused all that horror Still walks free, to wreak his wrath And, it seems that, so many more Now, walk along that deadly path. Our World is forever changed And it will never, be the same Sad, such evil lives among us Especially, in religion's name. Voices calling for Goodwill and Peace Are drowned out, by the drums of War And the destruction of all Mankind It seems is all, we really, are good for? Oh, we must protect ourselves And, the terrorism must be fought And all of those, who wish us harm Must get justice, due, when caught. So, on Nine Eleven, we'll remember Souls lost then, and since, that fateful day And, if you believe in, some kind of God You should ask for Peace too, if you pray!

Poetry - Ode to the Old By Helena Musgrave
