United It is amazing How in one single moment Our existence can shift Peace, security, tranquility Lost in a suffocating haze Of smoke, ashes, and ruins Nightmares become reality As the haunting echoes Of a thousand screams And millions of tears Ripple through our people A wave of numbing shock Sadness and compassion Take a hold of our souls Our hearts reaching blindly Attempting to comprehend Searching for what has been So violently taken from us Strong, proud and united We collectively stand tall Our heads held high Even as the teardrops fall We bond as a nation Refusing to give up Refusing to give in We will pick up the pieces We will begin to rebuild With an unwavering faith And love for our country Faith in our God above And faith in our strong spirit Proudly, loudly exclaiming For all the world to hear That we are The United States Of America We will NOT fall We will NOT surrender United, we will prevail.

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Tara, this is so very true, sweet friend, it saddens me to see hatred dividing all of us in the nation we cherish right now, for our motto was "In God We Trust" and now some are putting all their trust in Bush or leaders and others in silence while some pray to Him alone believing He will always be our leader and it will never change a thing! (sad sigh) I too pray we can come together soon and repair the colors that have been bleeding recently, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Tara, thank you for sharing, you have my vote! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

This is a frightening notion. Unity is difficult when the only unity allowed is on election day and beyond that point, unity exists only in the form of propoganda and mindless government cheerleaders. I'll stop myself before I start a little rant... I don't think it's necessary. It would be wonderful to have not only the nation in unity, but the world in unity. Having unity in a nation just reinforces the existence of sides... but there are no sides in the human race that we don't create ourselves. Nonetheless, I respect your intentions and enjoyed your poem. Nicely done. Parasite "Faith" means the will to avoid knowing what is true. |
