Proud to be 100 % AMERICAN

Twins

Once the most majestic

Of twins on this Earth

Then an act , terroristic

To a war gave birth

Thousands suffered losses

Like never known here before

Burns, suffocation among causes

The suffering we couldn't ignore

Now five years have passed

since that late summer day

Flags again at half mast

Their honor we cannot repay.

Will we ever forget this?

So many had long lives to live

Taken away by this act of cowardice

But God says we should forgive.

Forgiveness is so hard for some

Afraid it shows a weakness

Others know that THEIR time comes

They WILL face a fate of bleakness.

Remember how patriotic we all felt weeks and months after this cowardly attack on our neighbors..our comrades....our people. How many of us still feel as strongly patriotic today? And why have we gone back to the almost robotic movements we all took part in before this tragedy? Take the time today and every day to make friends and smile at someone you normally would not even make eye contact with ....say hello to them....make small talk. Just don't wait on another tragedy to prove to the world how great this country is. We are one people....we are AMERICANS....not African Americans......not Mexican Americans..........we AMERICANS. Be proud of it!!
