| Day of the Towers | 
|
| Do you remember that day?
The day of the towers?
The day the world stood
United against terrorist powers?
Can you remember the numbness
You felt deep inside?
Can you remember the feeling
As America stood united?
Can you remember the faces
Of the brave men and women
Who fought for our lives
And died to defend them?
Can you remember the speech
Our President gave?
Or do you block it out
Through Michael Moore’s propaganda game?
Have you seen the pictures of the brave men and women
Who are there in Iraq to fight for our freedom?
Or does the media block it out
With pictures of betrayal and slaughter?
You want a free country,
One that stands united.
You say you want a President
That listens to his people.
But how can you say that
When you mock him now?
How can you mock anyone’s ideas
When you shed our dead soldiers no tears?
You say you want freedom
And you want it right now.
So please tell me why
On the deciding day,
You stay home in bed,
Because it’s raining that day?
So, if you make an excuse on Election Day
As to why you don’t vote I dare you to say
That you don’t like the new laws laid down,
And the President’s decisions you frown.
Because the country should unite,
Like on that September day,
So that our children can say
They live in a country where freedom rings
And they live in a place
Where hope sings. | By Leigh-Anne Hurley.
