Exclamation

Someone pronounced a sentence on our city with a 747
and then punctuated it with another one some 30 minutes later.

What did they say?
Were you there that day ?
Did you get away?
Glory be to God for every soul that was saved.

I'm proud to say
that those firemen ran inside to help out on that day.

And , oh by the way ,
You may owe your lives to those passengers
who knew they didn't know how to fly.

It's no time to play.
There wasn't a war till planes started falling out of the skies.

A trip to paradise they claim
gives them the right to blow you away.
Helping those Jews makes you a target they say.

Can explain this evil away?
Every nation on earth lives here today.
Every language ever spoken can be heard every day.

In our nation!
We prefer it that way,
Showing to the world they can live in peace in this way.

There's no place to hide.
The answer you give has to come from inside.

What is the response for attacks of this kind?
If the earth quakes, because we agree.
If the earth shakes for the actions we take,
It's no complaint.
It's an Exclamation!
