For 9-11 “The world is crying”

A Poem by Coyote Poetry
I found this poem in a old book. It is 30 years old. I rewrote for the poor people lost in New York city and the brave people(Police and Fire department) who died trying to save life. 9-11 is part of the USA now. I pray for the families and the people of New York. Can’t allow fear to steal our hope. Must stand fearless and give the terrorist the one finger salute.

The world is cryingThe world is crying.
Like a forgotten child.
Like a forgotten child.
9-11 is here again. We are reminded.
War is near, when war is far away.Crying for all the sadness surrounding
every soul on this planet.
every soul on this planet.
Blood and war can touch us in all places.
Change our view of our world.My world seem to have forgotten the
dream of peace. Blood thirsty men run our world now.
dream of peace. Blood thirsty men run our world now.
Old dreams seem far away.
Where all nations can live in harmony.
Where all children can be safe and sound.Where upon all human beings could learn to cherish
all living life.
all living life.
But the goal of peace are forgotten.
Men of war control the emotion of the world.
New wars have been started and ended.
World is falling back to fear and hate.
Talk of peace is gone.
Only threats of war and destruction can be heard.
The day is here.
Where we are over taken by fear and ghost.
Now we must turn to tears.
9-11 changed our view to fear and took down walls of trust.Tears for the child and mother whom home was destroyed
in the way of war.
in the way of war.
Tears for the Mother and Father waiting for their child covered
in a USA flag to be brought home.
Starvation and sickness is running wild and millions are dying daily.
Where are the men of peace?
Can we stop the walk to our destined death?
USA and the free countries must stand tall. Freedom is worth fighting for. If places want war over peace? What can the free countries do to protect the people in the way of violence? Don’t forget 9-11-2001. A day we learn. Protect our borders and ensure we stand tall and proud. This is the USA. Flag waving and ready to fight. If you want one. Peace is my dream, sometime peace isn’t a option. We cannot allow fear to be create by terrorist.

Fight..but be careful when you point fingers or kill..remember that fight is against injustice not against a race or nation.
