Face to Face (Based on 9/11/01)

Karyn Indursky

 

Face to face
we stand
fighting for
the human race.
One common cause
and so much on the line.
If we fail,
the US
continues to be
attacked and terrorized.
Yet,
if we win,
we put an end to it
and show what it
really takes
to be #1.
In this battle,
we're all equals,
but what we want
is what separates us.
We,
the United States,
want life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We don't want
blood, sorrow, death, and such.
We will fight though...
not just to do it or something so pivotal,
but to reclaim our status and
set the future
for the
babies,
children,
teenagers,
young adults,
and the future
offspring.
