To All Terrorists

You don't know us very well.
You don't know us at all,
If you think that acts of war
Will make our country fall.
We do not run from danger.
Your kind will not prevail
And we don't care how long it takes,
We know we will not fail!

You've only made us stronger.
Determined now to win
And rid the world of evil men
Who glory in their sin.
You'll find we're made of stronger steel
Than was the tower wall,
That melted in your onslaught
And let the building fall.

For every one you killed that day,
10,000 more will rise
And we will find your hiding spots,
No matter your disguise.
With greatest resolution
We are marching to the fray
And soon you will be sorry
You ever looked our way!

This country's history will show
Our dedication to
The task of ridding all the world
Of vermin such as you!


Betty Lou Hebert
