still we slept....

One airplane,


One ship,


Over and over again whip,


the terrorist did trip.


Even attempted before,


to bring the buildings to the floor.


Ground floor all in a pile,


would make them smile.


On 9-11 the call became reality,


with thousands of Americans in fatality.


One

The biggest problem in this world of exposure is the fact that no one wants to be the human who errs...gets sued for one small overlook, or one wrong statement that could cost them thousands to keep even himself free...in a world of freedom comes a world of chained efforts or monies prioritized elsewhere...probably more important...? Yes? Well, I doubt it...9/11 will never be forgotten, but what caused it to occur...I believe has already passed...
and life goes on!
Love and Peace~

Great reminder write One...you have a great talent to rhyme and pull the reader in. We should never forget or lay our armor down...if you get a chance and you've not already read, check out a poem I posted sometime last year entitled "The Vision" I think you will find it interesting...strange, scarey...not sure, check it! As always a pleasure to stop by your den!
Blessings,

Still we sleep; have we learned nothing from this? I don't think so; we must protect our nation from further attacks and that includes SHUTTING OUR BORDERS. Excellent write; never forget! I sure won't!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <

A travesty in the name of what they called "merciful God", may the same God protect us from his messengers.
