A poem based on the response to 9-11
Bombs booming in the air
Light flashing everywhere
Sand and grit fill my eye
Replacing tears I try to cry

Crying not from fear or plight
But crying for senseless death in this fight
Brothers and sisters fight side by side
Destroying our enemy as they try to hide

American soldiers brave and strong
Proudly fight right or wrong
Sleep my brother for I am here
Fighting our enemy, have no fear

I’ll stand watch over our sacred land
Die if necessary in the blowing sand
If my blood should spill this day
Cry not for me, It’s the American way

Our fight for freedom centuries old
Facing our enemy proudly and bold
Giving not to oppression and cruel, evil acts
Opposing there lies with cold hard facts

So prepare my enemy, be ready to flee
For you have not faced A foe like me
I’m an American soldier armored by God
Untouchable by your so called jihad

American blood course through my veins
If you should spill it, Victory not death remains
For it will seep into the sand and begin to spread
Through the hearts and souls of those filled with dread

Freedom is coming, and with it your end
Your time is over my evil friend
Hear the cries of your people? Cries of joy not fear?
It’s laughter at your failure that fills your ear

We are American soldiers proud and true
Get ready my enemy, We are coming for you!
911 we will never forget
Destruction of our enemy we will never regret
We are American soldiers!!!
