NINE ELEVEN, SIX AND COUNTING Nearly three thousand killed On that sad and fateful day And more dying all the time Since our Nation lost it's way. We went after the terrorists Rightly, in Afghanistan Then, the invasion of Iraq Began that War of a flawed plan. The Taliban and al-Qaeda Were going down with their defeat Then we quit, took Troops away Before their demise was complete. The most wanted man on Earth Osama, is still on the run We probably could have had him If we'd finished, what we'd begun. But now, Iraq is full of terrorists They're running wild, far and wide And each day we have more Muslims Going over to the terrorist's side. The Iraqis people must stand up And learn to govern, their own way Saddam is gone, and they are free To speak out, and have their say. Our Country is deep in debt Our Troops, weary and spread thin Bogged down in Iraq's civil war That many say, we can not win. Our borders are still wide open People come and go as they please Just like thosefrom Nine Eleven More cells can sneak in with ease. There's many say we are no safer And the World is in dire straits And many who once stood beside us Place blame on this United States. And no, we never will forget What happened that terrible day And all those precious lives taken Or the great price we had to pay. But, there's thirty-eight hundred more Who have paid the ultimate cost As we wonder how many more Family's loved ones must be lost? We have too many brave Heroes Who serve, and will maybe, die As more and more people ask Was this War worth it, and why? As we mourn those from Nine Eleven Let's add those lost, since, to our prayers And show all who are serving now We are a Nation, that truly cares. Let them know, we want them Home That, enough of them have died That each, will get a Hero's welcome For a job, well done, with Pride. We have asked enough of them Much more, than we should expect But, they did, themselves Proud And surely earned, our deep Respect! 09.07.2007 Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity. |

Nice writing...I have been thinking, we have open borders, blessed by our President because he has not provided the leadership nor the funds to stop the flow, because at the same time he pretends to Reform Immigration, the flow is fueled by his desire to provide slave labor for American Corporations. But what about when his Presidency is over and he retires to Texas, what will stop a few zealous al-Qaeda members that are already in this Country, or that could easily sneak across our wide open borders, from visiting the ranch of the man, that has offered amnesty to 12 million illegals including an undisclosed number of al-Qaeda members that wish to kill us...as revealed on 9/11. A few sleepy secret service agents? I think not...James |
