We are not afraid of terrorists so cowardly, courage is ours, not theirs...


Poem Artwork

Know Now they Do… 


 


New York City, Northern New Jersey & Washington,


Areas they raised the terror level; none should be stunned,


If they are gonna attack, let them do it with courage,


Come and find me, I am not hiding, I do not wear a mask,


I would see them destroyed before they do their heinous task…


 


Know now they do, the American public will stand against them,


Know now they do, no free person in the world will do less,


Know now they do, their business of fear and death scares only the weak,


Know now they do, no person will cry for them on camera,


Know now they do, no one will renounce their country, their freedoms,


Know now the following, we are one, we are strong, we are united…


 


We are united throughout the world, no freedom will we relinquish,


Our hands are not tied, nor will we lose our heads, if we speak freedom,


This is our land, our people, our free and clear society,


Want to bomb it, want to kill us; we will spit in your face,


But if you are caught, if you are found,


Know now we will of you never leave a trace…
