America Weeps

AMERICA WEEPS

America weeps for those we lost,
On that fateful day.
When suicidal demons,
Went on a killing spree.

America weeps for fireman,
That rushed up flights of stairs,
Right into a fiery fate,
Saving others lives, not theirs.

America weeps for Freedom,
we now seem to have lost,
We used to have open borders,
a free country has its costs.

America weeps for Justice,
So far gone unpaid,
We pray one day Bin Laden,
Answers for these deeds.

America weeps, but don’t be fooled,
She never shys away,
We will wipe our tears, then unleash terror,
Freedom will win the day.

God bless America when we weep,
God bless us now in war,
Guard all who serve this nation,
Now and evermore.
