Up from the ashes

By solange

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

From a dream born of images bleak and grey Of broken towers in heaps upon the ground I saw a mighty bird arise from such disarray Not a phoenix from a burning nest unbound It was the spirit of America A great eagle in the sky Silent was it's voice A blaze was in it's eyeTerrorism is suppose to generate fear and despair.Ben Laden was robbed of his victory.His unspeakable crime has ignited a powerful resolve in all Americans and hopefully the world.These merchants of terrorism must be shown that their actions will not longer be tolerated.There must be no place for them to hide.Any country or persons who harbor and support them must be held accountable for their crimes against humanity.I hope he has written his own death warrant.It's time to take out the garbage.
