My 9/11 - Epilogue

 
our
"great leaders"
all gathered
in "unity"
united they were
standing there
oh so tall

standing there
like little children
holding hands
dressed up
all in rows
just a group
of little children
singing
silly songs

"united we stand"
they told the world
as they stood
standing there
hand in hand

"united we stand"
was such a simple
powerful message
but 'twas just
a hollow call

as moments later
their jabbing fingers
stabbing sharply
rabid voices
shrilly tossing
accusations
at one another

oh damn them all
damn them all
the blaming game
has started

twas hard to bear
those first few weeks
to watch them all profess
that they did this
or they did not do that
or that they never did
quite enough

Oh
some things never change
it seems
some things never change
so i
damn them all to hell and back
then damn them all again

i say
damn them all to hell and back
then damn them all again

oh
damn them all
damn them all
damn them all again

Do you know the difference between "Statesmen" and "politicians" ?
