9/11 Anniversary Part One
So what are your views on this anniversary and the aftermath of 9/11?
9/11 Anniversary Part One
Another anniversary
To remember and mourn
Those that died on that day
When the planes crashed
In to the WTC and narrowly missed the Pentagon
A day when terrorism arrived in the USA
And the whole world changed
War on terror was launched
Invasion after invasion
Only halted due to dogged resistance
Iran and Syria survived
Temporarily
As the Neo-Con agenda
Fell apart
In the deserts of Iraq
And the valleys of Afghanistan
A Coalition was formed
To storm
And smoke out the enemy
Brits were there as always
Even though their public said “not in our name”
Much has been done
In the name of those 3000 that died
And more yet to come
All in the name of fighting and killing the new enemy
Al Qaeda and Political Islam
9/11
Became a justification
For almost anything
Many now wonder
Who planned and did it?
Conspiracy theories
Mistrust of the powers that be
Refusal to follow blindly and accept
Has been the result and Bushes legacy
Millions of dollars were destroyed on that day
But billions gained in oil revenues from Iraq
Accountants balance the figures
While American blood fills the rivers
It’s the white/black working class boys and girls
Who fight, are killed and wounded
While the Neo-Cons and businessmen sign new deals
And their kids spend daddies millions
Every anniversary treated like a marketing strategy
To unify and milk anger and grief
Raise another army
To go into the valley of death
Where the enemy awaits and fights in stealth
Over 4000 dead and 25 000 wounded
Americans of course
Iraqi dead in 6 figures
But they don’t matter
Even Saddam never killed this many
But many call him a tyrant and murderer
So how long will these wars continue?
Trillions wasted
As poverty and unemployment at home rises
Hurricane Katrina exposed the soft underbelly
America does not care for its own citizens
Overseas it’s not looking good either
Mujahideen getting stronger
Courage coming with the downing of every plane
Blowing up of every tank and soldier
America no longer the boulder
More like the pebble
To be crushed under the feet of these so called rebels
So what will you do
The American public?
Follow blindly
the leader who fails to inspire
or elect another to continue this butchery?
Whose policies will bring the chicken’s home to roost?
Or select a third brave option
Isolation and non- interference in Muslims affairs
Make your choice wisely
Because the enemy is prepared to fight and die bravely
But you already saw that on 9/11 2001.

Two sides to that.
1. They had cahoona's.
2. But they targeted civilians.
No matter whether you agree with what happened or not (for the record, I don't), that still makes it wrong.
PS and you can't now say "it wasn't like that". "It was a conspiracy to blame Muslims" as you have yourself supported the opposite side in that "poem".

JazakAllah for the comments as always based on the Islamic adhaab.
The poem shows different views and is not always the opinion of the author.
If you read the whole poem with an open mind then you can see the salient points inshAllah

I ain't much of a poet. But different viewpoints from one poem, but no clarity?
That must be why I always avoided poetry.
Most things that can be said in prose can be said without it. Cadence can be important though.

yopu know, I always wondered about the rythm and rhyme in the poetry that showkat posts (or the lack of it), and have only just realised it is probably freeform rap. or something like that.

huh?
i'm not bashing 'moslem extremists'
call me old fashioned buti would hope that all Muslims, not just 'liberals' would think killing innocent people is horrible and extremely unIslamic (aswell as making the situation for most of us living in non-Muslim societies that LITTLE bit more uncomfortable).

I actually didnt realise that it were sept 11 yesterday (still didnt occur to me when ppl were giving me snides) until my sis pointed it out last night. Normally they have this 2 min silence but i was sat in lecture yesterday and we didnt have no 2 min silence, remember doing one for the pakistan earthquake.

huh? u implied throughout the whole poem that america carried out the 9/11 bombings, and now u admit that Muslims carried it out (albeit in a horrible, triumphant sort of a way).
Sickening, Showkat. Sickening.
