Pictures in my mind
Two jet liners zooming in
Blossoms of fire balls

The numb shock of it
Can this really be happening?
The horror,horror

I ask where was God
Was he helpless at this time
I only ask why

Innocent people
Thousands of lifes pay for hate
All done in his name

Don't fight terrorism
We all must end the reasons
that drive this sickness

Who are these people?
They could not have been born
with all this hatred

They had to be trained
Taught the lies of bitter rage
Twisted words of God

I also remember the images of muslim people in the streets cheering Ben Laden and burning the American flag.I find this some how more chilling than the acts of terrorism.The little kids shown in the pictures are the next generation of terrorist.

Paladin this has to be one of if not the most profound write today.
Done in the form you have become known
for writing so well in.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Robert, I know just what you mean, I too can't understand how some people can do such things, yet I feel there has to be an alternative than fighting to end this battle, we can all be vigilant but try and be peaceful as well unless of conflict! (wipes tears) I join you in prayers for all of America's victims families, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Robert, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

My sentiments exactly, Paladin... but said so poetically beautiful...
I always wonder why, if these evil people want to die... don't they get cancer?
While people like myself, who want to live, get it...
I don't think I will ever have that answer

You are so right, paladin. Terrorists are raised, much like the Hitler Youth camps of WW 2. The cycle continues....
