Poem about the 9/11 attack. Written in 2001 shortly after attacks.
The Nation wakes
To terror in her skies
Terror at her door.
From across the sea
The evil came
Across the sea
In an unholy name.
Thousands lost
In two swift strikes
Thousands mourn
This loss of life.
Once again
The Giant wakes
From peaceful slumber
The enemy it seeks.
Revenge
Is in it’s heart
It has no room
For peacful thought.
They did not listen now
Nor did they then
When they awoke
The sleeper within.
