Fellow listers
Today is a sad day for many. To those who lost Family, Loved Ones and
Friends, this is for them and all Americans. This is for all the Heroes who
were there when we needed them.
One year ago today a great lady was attacked
By cowards who thought god was behind them
Maim and destroy the harlot their leaders told them
Her beauty is false and flashy to our god's eye
Her bounty must be wiped out because it is not ours
So they plotted, planned and were not honorable men
Slithered their way into her home
Previous protections had been removed years before
By well meaning people responsible for her safety
Privileges bought and sold by powers on high
Left her vulnerable to assault
By fire and flame her towers were brought down
By commandeered missiles with her children as hostage
We watched in horror seeing her brought low
We watched in pride as sons and daughters came to her rescue
Working past the pain, tears and exhaustion
Focusing their anger to the task at hand
Finding her children, either living or lost forever
Clearing the debris from cowardly acts
Marshalling her remaining warriors
Decimated by ignorance from on high
They never lost faith, hoping for a new day
They remained steadfast, faithful and true
Wanting and ready to follow a leader
Worthy of their respect and support
As cowards are want to do
They bragged how they had won
We punished the harlot, killed her children
Brought her places of power down
Not realizing her strength is from many sources
From blood spilled in a quest for freedom
From the sweat of men, women and children
Freeman, indentured and slave
Our history is not pretty, but it is ours
We are a proud people admitting our faults
Out of so much loss, life has renewed
Children yet unborn are now a legacy
Safe in their mother's arms
Mothers and Fathers being both parents
Telling the tale in words carefully chosen
No matter the color of our skin
WE ARE AMERICANS
No matter the name we call God
WE ARE AMERICANS
No matter where we came from
WE ARE AMERICANS
All blood, bone, mind and spirit
WE ARE AMERICANS
By birth or by choice
WE ARE AMERICANS
As an American
By all that I am
Whatever it takes
NEVER AGAIN
