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! 09.08.2008 Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity.

This poem is wonderful. I really like the way it is organized into stanzas- it says so much about current events. I particularly like the line: "Voices calling for Goodwill and Peace Are drowned out, by the drums of War" |

Abe, as I watched the buildings fall, I thought almost the exact words you put here "The world is forever changed." and it has turned out to be just so. Very nice presentation of your thoughts, Abe.  |

It's important to all mankind, not just us here in the USA, to remember that we are not free of this threat. We still need to protect this Country from evil. Keep up the good work. Nice Job. |
