Peace or War? (9/11)

Peace Or War?

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 cause 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!

Peace shall not come to any who see evil and fear others, for they will always justify their means to make war.

Understand that ones actions are responsible for the corporate and political policy which cause terror, pain and grief to millions of innocent families, day after day, year after year after year.

All who died, did so knowingly in support of a seriously flawed system, which puts the interest of the few above the greater good of the many, as long as such a system attempts to exists, it shall continue to damage it self from within and be subject to harm from without.

With the attitude of justice and revenge at any cost, the cycle will repeat for every parent of every child on either side, will desire their fair share, giving those who loose the most, ample reason to extract the greatest future harm.

And so we continue, lessor for that which we have been and are, yet greater in the knowing of what we could possibly be.
