America! What Will We Do?

by Becky drake   Jun 3, 2005


First of all since I'm still a little new here, I got into my box of works, and this was the first one I found. I wrote it on that Fateful day September 11,2001. Please read and vote, tell me what you think. Its a little outdated, but then again Not Really.

We have to come together and be United as we stand,
We have to support, and comfort and be strong for this great land.

America has been terrorized and the cowards think we'll freeze,
Little did they know, as flags start flying in the breeze.

Across the country our prayers are the same,
God Bless the families of those on those planes.

Loved ones killed, and friends that can't be found,
As the faceless cowards lowered towers to the ground.

The Pentagon and all inside was hit with such great force,
Was the White House the target, and they simply got off course?

All of America has rolled up their sleeves, to do what they can do,
Because we know you'd do the same if it'd been us instead of you.

We've come together to stand quietly in prayer,
For God to help us deal with this tragedy that hit us from the air.

Rescue workers exhausted, yet working night and day,
We thank you for your efforts and ask for Gods strength along the way.

America will not run, and we certainly will not hide,
We are still the symbol, of FREEDOM, STRENGTH, and PRIDE.

IN GOD WE TRUST, that is our slogan and thats exactly what we do.
And to the faceless cowards, we have no sympathy for you.

America is United, we will stand proud and we sill stand tall,
America she will not crumble, and she definitely will not fall.

We will mourn and yes you know we'll cry,
for the unknown number of people, who on this date will die.

We will pray for our country and ask God for his Grace,
to find beauty, and peace again in this place.

To all the lost, and those left behind, our hearts go out to you,
We are here to help, and do what we can do.

We've seen the hero's and we've seen the pain,
but America will rise and be strong once again.

God be with us, as we are with you,
from TERRORISM, to HEROISM, to PATRIOTISM
THATS WHAT AMERICA WILL DO........

America the Proud
America the Free
America the Beautiful
From Sea to Shinning Sea.

    Would you say freedom fighters are cowards? After all, our terrorists are their freedom fighters. If you fought for your country, does that make you a coward? If you fight for freedom, are you guilty of cowardice?

    Raises many questions, and leaves no answers. I suppose we british do not share patriotism like you do, but nonetheless, I like poems that make me think. And even if I vehemently opposed the content, I cannot disregard the fact that it was wondefully written. Well done.
