Ground Zero

By sidewinder

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

We are the children of democracy, We touch as eagles of freedom, Those that would crush out hearts will find that we will not give in! Our lives will live on, Even though war looms at our very faces, You've touched our fierceness, Our home has been threatened, And as warriors our dignity is at stake, You will find that resolve... unshaken, Our innocence has been lost, And you'll regret this, Look in our eyes! Make no mistake! We will protect our own & those who love freedom! You enrage a might giant, Which will reach into your lands & find you, Bringing justice for the pain that you've caused.
