"Days After"


“Days After”

cji
12/8/15

There were storms at sea
even sunlight able to see
rumors of invasions many
even thoughts for a penny;

Days after horror struck
a nation in mud stuck
awakening slow quickly
laws obeyed strictly;

Days after the attack
no words found to lack
murder, hatred voiced
while some rejoiced;

Begun the last war won
the giant thought done
politicians fighting now
with no idea of how;

Days after now are lost
terrible in lives cost
now negotiated away
no-win wars to stay;

Lies, traitors, treason
our politicians reason
global warming excuse
for their continued abuse;

Terrorist now us citizens
accused as denizens
unable to tell truth
from the lies of youth;

Gather in your children
pray in your garden
soon both not allowed
innocence in graves plowed;

Open your brains awake
make this world shake
days after the US awakes
correcting past mistakes;

Armed citizenry unite
shoulder to shoulder fight
against internal treason
hope again in reason!
