Nine-One-One

This infamous day, is the eleventh day of September.

If we believe in God, we all have to wonder

Why doesn't He stop suffering; we all ponder.

Even if we escape disease or mishap in life,

there are other crosses to bear that cause us strife:

Perhaps poverty, abuse, loneliness, sometimes fear,

evil, terrorism, and the death of many so dear.

World Trade Center towers both sent crashing to the ground

by two planes smashing into them; it's a battleground.

One plane crashes into the Pentagon, more lost lives.

One plane's passengers are heroes, crash, no one survives.

Destruction, death, five thousand plus lost, then a flight ban

will disrupt the country as we all do what we can.

Many give their lives trying to find people alive.

Workers, cleaning up debris, pray, hoping some survive.

But we will recover quickly and vanquish the foe,

as God guides our path to renewal; this we all know.

Countries worldwide join to help defeat this wickedness

by people who have no regard for life, total vileness.

God is fair, but life sometimes doesn't treat us good.

God is good, but people do bad, not as they should.

God is perfect; we make mistakes that cause us woe.

As long as some do evil, others are hurt, you know.

Would you want to live with no will, live with no choice?

God wants us to have our freedom, to speak our voice.

God doesn't cause you to suffer; it's a human trait.

God wants you to live a life of love, one that's great.

Suffering will cease only when we reach the day

when we are all filled with love, for that is God's way.

Bless God, who gave all races and colors their birth.

God bless America, may peace prevail on Earth.
