A Scar is Born Breaking news...this just in,
America remains hospitalized after severely bleeding within.
Let the citizens know...the news is out,
The world sits in silence...shocked...even though it desires to scream and shout.
Whatever this stranger was trying to prove, his animosity was felt and his heatless heart was certainly shown,
We'll send the troops away and start the wicked war, but the enemy is still unknown.
Pack your bags...leave this atrocious trap,
Escape this fear of reality...never come back.
The United States got shot in the chest today, her heart suddenly stopped pulsating and her life almost came to a tragic end,
The questions must be answered...who is our foe, who is our friend?
Who started it all, who launched the abrupt attack?
Our leaders have a plan...send the troops to the battlefields of betrayal in Baghdad, Iraq.
Who committed this sin, was it perhaps Russia or Japan?
Climb aboard the planes, Fed-Ex the soldiers to capture the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Our allies will be here for us, we are not alone,
We can search the entire planet for the evil enemies, but they are already in our own country...in our own home.
Our nation got stabbed in the back today, what happened to all the trust?
While some have visions of freedom, most minds are filled with repugnance and disgust.
When those majestic towers crumbled to the ground, our glorious flag forfeited its thirteen stripes and fifty stars,
When the gray smoke rose above the city that never sleeps, our feculent rag was replaced with thirteen bruises and fifty scars.
To whom it may concern, did you cowards even care to think how you made all these innocent souls feel?
Well now America lies in a coma...on her deathbed...but we still have hope that she'll someday heal.
But to all those families out there, just cry away your ocean of tears, close your eyes, and try to sleep tight,
For this country won't back down without a good, brutal fight.
The world came closer today than ever before, it was like the Pangaea puzzle being put back together all over again, each person marching hand in hand,
From the snow capped mountains of Colorado to the white sand beaches of Florida, the people of this resplendent country concurrently chant "United We Stand".
Former boundaries have been erased; former hatred has become outdone,
Former foes have become friends...now this great country lives as one.
The towers that once pointed to the Heavens may be gone, but will certainly be remembered forever,
Out of all the tragedy and loss, this cataclysmic event still managed to bring us all ultimately together.
This just in...America will be buried today...her coffin will be proudly escorted by the peace police,
The world is one monolithic battle zone as of now, but let us hope that someday her fatigued corpse can relax and rest in peace.
