THREE AND COUNTING

Another anniversary
Of our "day of infamy"
Of battles against terror
And it’s war’s casualty.

Osama still on the roam
And the borders, we control (?)
Filling up with terrorists
Who come to thwart our goal.

Maybe, "we can win" the war
Or, "maybe we can’t"
Depends on who you talk to
Who’ll give you a different slant.

But, ask the friends and families
Of those who have already "lost"
And those who march in "harm’s way"
Who, really pays the "cost"?

The bureaucrats and diplomats
Political/military brass
Tell us it’s all necessary
And that, this too, will pass.

But, ask those who build the bombs
And blow themselves, to "Kingdom Come"
Who think killing innocent people
Will take them to "Martyrdom".

They have no respect for life
Or the consequence of actions
Using any means to an "end"
Of all non-Muslim factions.

Our Nation is sadly learning
What others already knew
That the terrorists will never quit
No matter what we do.

We’ve also learned a lesson
That we should have known
We must work with other Countries
Because, we’ll never win, alone.

How true your words ring this morning Del!
The terrorists still continue their battle..
and we continue to lose lives.
Where will it all end?
Excellent write m'friend.

Very nice written. This bothers me so much that I am a blank as to what to say. My heart wants to think that no one is totally bad, so I guess I'll just send my prayers that their hearts will be opened and the hate will be laid down. Very nice writing,Abe.

Abe, I was greeted with a musical reminder today that it is coming up on us again, a "day to remember"...and I knew it would only be a matter of some very little time where you would stand up again and speak to your country, and to your feelings.

Thank you.
