9/11–We Lost the Battle, but isn’t the war of terrorism still thriving?

9/11 by Deborah A. Bowman

15 years from that which Americans have never recovered

Friends, family members, co-workers, neighbors … all beloved

Gone in the blink of an eye in a blasting inferno of fire

We lost the battle that day when we didn’t even know we were at war

But has it changed so very much?

Terrorists bringing death, destruction, and such

All around the world, in their hidden camps, glorified

Trying to totally erase a specific ethnicity … genocide

Acts of horror, devastation, blood and gore

And oft’times, they didn’t even know they were at war

Even within our sacred borders …

We don’t even know that we are at war.

  I knew so many people from The Pentagon from my previous life at the Department of Defense. It seems even more poignant this year with all the terrorism around the world. Thanks, Sylvester. Your concern helps me so much.

    Thank you, Deb, for sharing that. It is a sad that we have dictatorships and terrorism still prevalent today. Take care.
