I was at breakfast with friends when the sad news came It was tragic indeed, but no need to lay blame Then I heard of a second disaster I said a silent prayer to my Master
These acts of terror just wouldn't end I heard at the capitol it had happened again Then both towers collapsed, a plane crashed in a field Finally, to my horror, shock, and anger I yield
I am a man who fought a war and cherishes peace For over thirty years my life has had a new lease Suddenly, a faceless coward has hardened my heart I want retribution against those who took part
Can our world ever regain the security we knew? In light of today's events our chances seem few These terrorist acts generate no gain-just fear Oh you great world communities are you listening, do you hear?
Why are these groups allowed to spread hate? If the world can't unite, all will suffer the same fate Can you not see it's useless insanity? Terror is the most insidious crime against humanity.
