they speak in whispers
move about feeling unseen
like a dark cancer they spread
bringing fear and uncertainty

vigilance is not quite enough
they can buy their way past our laws
they have shown they can weild their sword
even in our own backyards

it was the problem of others
until the day we watched the planes
smashing over and over, upsetting more
than just our way of life

in their way of life
they pay mothers to let their children die
and those children kill our children
on their mistaken path to god

This poem makes me want to cry.

Cold hands means a warm heart

Reminds me of the song "The Eve of Destruction".
"Think of all the hate there is in Red China.
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama."
Yes evil still exist...I am reading a book about Hitler and here we are fifty or so years later and we have new Hitlers...James

What can I say about this poem that would do it justice? I think, nothing really. It stands on it's own as incredible, insightful, and screaming truth. An excellent piece. Truly superb.
