Here Comes Hope After the Twin Towers crumbled to the frigid ground along with countless corpses and continuous catastrophe
The country didn’t care about building a memorial or a park in honor of those who prematurely perished that day
Instead, plans were already being made to erect an even bigger and better skyscraper to scrape Satan’s sinful sky
Let’s give the terrorists another target to toy around with
As if we hadn’t learned our livid lesson in the first place
When the gray opaque smoke arose above the city that never sleeps
New York wasn’t even on peoples' minds anymore
Hollywood was already too busy on the opposite coast contacting Nicholas Cage
Coming up with ideas for a blockbuster, award winning movie to make an immense profit and fortune off of other peoples' misfortunes
The actors of this atrocious American apathy should be extremely ashamed
And forfeit every penny in their piggy banks to the families of those who had forfeited their own freedom on that unforgettable day
After Hurricane Katrina caused chaos and calamity on our own crowded streets
Washington D.C. extemporaneously erased New Orleans off the map
And failed to offer even an ounce of aid or support for our own citizens
Because we were too busy searching incalculable caves in the Middle East
And rebuilding cities overseas in which we had no right or reason to destroy in the first place
After Dick Cheney shot his very own friend on a hunting trip
He simply laughed it off and pretended he did nothing wrong
And he got away as free as a dove
While thousands were flying frayed and feeble white flags high in the sky in Fallujah in the midst of friendly fire
And even more were being convicted for crimes they never committed
And lost votes are still be discovered and counted in Florida
Even though George W. Bush claimed victory and Al Gore gave up his ghost long ago
Tragedy strikes in Tallahassee as terrible turmoil thunders down on the toxic truth
The puny panhandle cannot possibly support the cumbersome weight of this whole wicked world any longer
And slowly, but ever so surely
America starts to open up its weary eyes
And realize the mess we’ve gotten ourselves into
Even Republicans are starting to protest against our own president
People made picket signs, and wrote political poems, and sang anti-war songs
But nothing ever happened…nothing ever changed
And after January 20th, 2009
One less imbecile will be in the oval office
Tons more will be behind unbreakable bars
But everything will still be the same
The war will never be won
The sky will never showcase the sun
The soldier will never put down the gun
The two will never become one
The red, white, and blue stains on the frail flag will never be undone
No need in worrying about the appalling and abysmal “after”…when our ill-fated future hasn’t even begun
