Would you know?

Would you know that face of the enemy?Was he that friend or that neighbor?Would you know that face that bestowed unto America ununremittingerror?Was he that stranger you passed once or twice?Would you know that face that made America pay the price?Was he that employee who worked on the floor below you?Would you know that face that turned America's skies dark from a radiant shade of blue?Was he that favorite old-fashioned hot dog vendor?Would you know that face that made America's streets tremor?Was he that aquaintance that always said 'hi' to you in the evening?Would you know that face that left America shocked and grieving?Was he that person you saw everyday retrieving his mail?Would you know that face who made thousands of American's lives a living hell?Was he that doorman with a smirky grin?Would you know that face that in the most immoral of ways brought America to total unison?Would you know that face?
