Didn’t
want to write this poem
Mostly
because I don’t feel like jumping on the death wagon
NYC
knows better than any of us what happened and what needs to be done to put
themselves back together again like Humpty Dumpty or Frankenstein’s monster
NYC
has a spine made of the strongest metal and no terrorist is going to win, no
matter how many planes they crash into the city
We
aren't the ones who let our guard down
Rather,
it was an administration that had better things to do than worry about a little
thing like national security
They
believed themselves to be the smartest people in the room when what proved to
be true was that they were the most ignorant and inexperienced to handle such cataclysmic
events
Of
course when it came to Bush 43 holding a megaphone and standing in the rubble
of the towers he thrived because he likes to pretend he’s a John Wayne cowboy whose
swagger will vanquish all evil doers
Nothing
could be further from the truth as the terrorists proved there are more moving
parts than we’ll ever fully comprehend, but Richard A. Clarke had a pretty good
idea what was coming and of course no one would listen to him because he was
from the former administration and in their estimation had cooties
Then
to rub salt in the wounds instead of keeping our eye on the ball the decision
is made to go after Saddam Hussein because there’s more at stake here than
honest to God justice and catching the bad men responsible for 9/11
Politics
can go rot in a black ops site on the other side of the world for all I care
and be water boarded until it breathes its last stale breath because it’s not keeping
any of us safe when putting party over country and blowing dog whistles to
supposedly unify our country when all they ever do is divide us and watch us
fall
