Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Wake Up Call By Carol Johnson We woke up Tuesday morning To find the world had changed Our borders, violated By an evil force, deranged And thousands of just ordinary People now lay dead Not one of us could help but ask "Could that be us instead?" We watched the towers crumble There was nothing left but dust It hurt so much to see it But somehow we thought we must It didn't matter if we'd never met The tears came just the same These were our people, all of them How strong the feelings came I recognize just how you feel The fear and pain are all too real But wounds that fester cannot heal Don't let the terrorists come steal The love that's left within In that case they would win Revenge is the first thought When you are hurt this way You're strength is gone, your heart is broken "Someone has to pay!" "Let's wipe them off the earth!" "Let's tear them all apart!" But we sink to their level With this hate ruling our heart I know the anger in your gut Could never be more real But I doubt the terrorists will care One bit 'bout how you feel Hate will only push love out Eat you up inside And all you have that is worthwhile Also will have died I recognize just how you feel The fear and pain are all too real But wounds that fester cannot heal Don't let the terrorists come steal The love that's left within In that case they would win We must be strong and show them We're superior by far But how will grasping unforgiveness Even START to raise the bar? Love's the only way to show The world you are not weak The strongest man who ever lived Said "Turn the other cheek." We show our strength with candles To chase away the dark With hands clasped very tightly To re-light the people's spark With promises that we'll survive And love all people more No we will never be the same We're better than before I recognize just how you feel The fear and pain are all too real But wounds that fester cannot heal Don't let the terrorists come steal The love that's left within Love lets us win again Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
