Sept. 11th
I see the destruction on tv.
I see the chaos, and the smoke overtake new york.
i see the flames in the pentagon.
i hear about acts of war, and terrorism
it's a lot for a person of my age to understand.
it saddens me, and it frightens me to think:
has the u.s. been made vulnerable, easily striked upon by enemies?
no.
you can never break freedom or spirit.
all the losses will be mourned
but america is still whole
we've overcome it before, and will overcome it again.
as a whole, as a patriotic nation.
