As An American I Am Sad,

I Am Angry,

To You The Terrorists,

I Say... "Keep Your Eyes On America!"

In This, "Yet A Different Type Of War",

You As "Terrorists" Threw The First Punch,

"You Knew We Would Not!,

Like Cowards You Approached Us,

As To A Victim When It's Guard Was Down,

Yes!..."Just As You Planned, Many Died!"

Yes!..."Our Hearts Did Break, We Did Cry",

Yes!..."You Pierced Our Stride",

"Yes!...We As Americans Did Stagger",

But!..."We Did Not Fall",

And!..."Our Flag Still Stands",

And!..."Freedom Still Rings",

"Our Greatest Weapon And Comfort Is Our Pride"

"Did You Expect Any Less Of Us?"

Though You Bask In The Glow Of Our Unforeseen Tragedies,

"Know That We Hold You And Your Conspirators Accountable",

"Know, We Are More United Now Than Before Your Feat",

"Know That Our Patriotism Shines Brighter Than Your Beacon For Our Demise",

We Are Sad, "But Not Helpless",

We Are Emotionally Down, "But Not Out!",

You Have Won This Battle,

But!..."The War Is Ours!",

For What You Have Started, "We Will Now Finish!"

We Know You Are Wondering "What Next?",

"Good!"

"You Wait!, You Watch!",

"But Don't You Blink!",

As We Do Not Intend To Sleep!,

"Keep Your Eyes On America!"

Inspirationally Yours, -Charlotte Butler-Woods- (248) 299-4402

Stand proud, America! Wear it proudly!!
