PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

We all sat excitedly in our places, some laying on the floor, the rest sitting on the couches.  We forwarded the previews impatiently waiting for the television screen to fill the room with the heart-stopping action of "The Long Kiss Goodnight".  For a while I watch as Stephanie, really Charlie, has amnesia and lives her fairy tale life after being reborn 8 years ago.  Then, suddenly the story turns interesting. My heart drops as an old acquaintance tries to kill Charlie.  And then I watch as Charlie completely transforms into the spy she once was.  My heart's pounding as both Charlie and her partner are captured.  One murderer sits behind them as the other smirks, standing directly in front of the two kneeling figures.



The room is completely quiet as we listen meticulously.  And then...my heart stops beating.



"Oh my God," I whisper.  I don't know whether to laugh or cry

"When was this movie made?" I ask my aunt who is equally entranced.

"Around 1995, 1998," she replies without taking her eyes off the T.V.

My mom looks at us and rewinds it back to the part.  We watch it again...and again and again



Son of a guns, I think, it was all a setup.  After all those times I defended America, after all those times I called America innocent, they turn their backs on us?!

Throughout the rest of the movie which isn't much, I begin to think: Why?

The movie is done and still I think about it.  TIll 6 am I'm still awake thinking about it.  And now as I write this my heart doesn't try to deny the truth anymore: Septemeber 11 was a setup.



'1993, Word Trade Center bombing, remember?,' the bald man's husky voice fills the room.  'During the trial one of the bombers claimed the CIA had fast knowledge.  The diplomat who is sure of the terrorists VISA was CIA. It's not unthinkable they PAVED the way for the bombing.  Purely to justify a budget increase.'



'Your're telling me that you're gonna fake some terrorist thing just to scare some money out of congress?' come's Samuel L. Jackson's reply.



'Well unfortunately Mr. Henisey, I have no idea how to fake killing 4000 people. So we're just gonna have to do it for real...We'll blame it on the Muslims naturally, then I get my funding.  Goodnight old girl.'



Questions filled my head: Wasn't it around 4000 people that died on September 11?  Well how come if these actors were in the movie, they didn't say anything?  Why is everything for money?



The biggest question that popped into my head was: If the world knew, would they do anything?



I need answers, the world should know.  It's not right to discriminate against the innocent.  It's not right to hate people all for a fricking setup.
