911 ON 9-11

You cowards of the world
Don't think, you can rejoice
For, hear this message loud and clear
From one, united voice.

The civilized among us
Will make you rue this day
And you'll find it won't be worth
The price, you'll have to pay.

Some say they are "holy wars"
But that mighty supreme being
Must be cringing from the sights
That He has been seeing.

I bet He never dreamed
That He'd created such as you
That the Devil could possess
And make you do what you do.

He didn't create life on Earth
To destroy one another
You might think you'll go to Heaven
But, you'll end up in the "other".

When people kill their fellowman
In the name of their "Maker"
All of them end up as
The worst kind of "forsaker".

Religious zealots have killed more
Than, for any other reason
And it has been the worst kind
Of, what some may call treason.

An affront to all that's right
That's decent and humane
Strong beliefs are okay
Until, they become, INSANE!

You didn't strike America
You hurt every human soul
And you gave us all resolve
To thwart your evil goal.

But, your days are numbered
Hear this, above the painful wail
That people of good will and heart
Are the ones, who will, prevail.

(big hugggssssssss) I believe that the grief, shame, and loneliness is the perfect retribution for those who committed this act of violence, and though I do not believe in any war whatsoever, they do deserve punishment for life and I say staring through the bars in a cold dark room, letting people spit or slap their faces and filling their ears with the cries of children till they go deaf is the kind of punishment I'd like to see for those who inflict blind rage upon the innocent! (wipes tears) God Bless You, dearest friend, we will continue to be safe with Him, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Abe, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
