9/11 MASQUERADE. A poem, by me
We came from all aroundPledged allegiance with resound
And gave to Uncle Sam our rights away
A soldier corps
Built just for war
With ranks of those
Who yearned for more
Were drilled and taught to kill both night and day
We stood in line
Time after time
Were stripped of thoughts
Issued a mind
And told to hate and who to hate as well
As time went on
It wasn’t long
All childhood innocence
Was gone
We new recruits bought all that they could sell
