Twas September 11
2001
The day that the U.S.
Came under the gun
We all watched in horror
And some pondered why
How a nation so mighty
Could let so many die
Al-Qaieda was chosen
To shoulder the blame
Hey, Iraqis are Muslim
Hell, Whats in a name?
An Axis of Evil
The perfect excuse
To subject Arabic people
To yet further abuse
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
Good old Christian ideals
In the way of the truth
Iraqs got chemical weapons
And warheads too
The U.S. knew this
Cause they gave them a few
The world said
What about Children
Who get killed in these wars
And the thousands of troops
Wholl depart from our shores?
But our great Western leaders
Cast aside our concerns
For we dont know whats best
And were sure gonna learn
Some say its the oil
U.S. power and greed
A coalition of the willing?
Or are we just friends in need?
.....So the war, it was waged
We so called allies prevailed
But were yet to find weapons
So on that count weve failed
And how long will it take?
Is the question we ask
Seems that justifications
Become quite a task
And if that task is beyond us
Will we admit our error?
For a mistake thats this big
Can provoke only more terror
Now were left with dilemmas
Heres just 2 to debate
Is the world any safer, and.....
Have we sealed our own fate?
