PEARL HARBOR TO 911; EVERLASTING CHANGES
By Ralph Maduike

      From the rubbles of pearl harbor
      To the collapse of twin towers 911
      I marvel at the desecration of our freedom
      And salute the resilience of our might
      On each occasion cry for our mother country
      I cry for the falling heroes that bless our landscapes
      The ones that sheds the sacrificial blood
      That keep us focused and bold

       From rubbles to rubbles, our ashes ascends heaven
       Received by the almighty, He sends His blessings to fortify us
       To make us better children for the world
        The world shocked by a jolt to our foundation

        At Pearl Harbor we shivered
        At WTC coiled in to our souls
        Senses could not understand the mayhem
        Eyes could not believe the atrocities
        The desecration of our land

        On these occasions we came out outrageos
        Smoking with anger and anguish
        Asking innumerable questions with innumerable answers
        Yet we could not see where we sinned
         Against these enemies without conscience
         Against men and women that became beast
         Against the inhuman assault on our country
 
         The world stood still, the time piece refused to still
         Telling us that the struggle must continue
         Justice must  prevail to let light overcome darkness
         The world  listened to our cries
         The birds of the earth refused  singing
          Because there is no joy on this infirmly day

          The wave of our ocean rose in ferocity
          Overflowing bounds and boundaries
          Bubbling and boiling for action
          To decimate these beast in human skin

          These actions are deterrents
          To restore our dignity and might
           To restore honor to future generations
           And keep democracy flowing in our blood,& souls                                                                                                                                                    
INTRODUCTION
As the work on ground zero is officially concluded, and in the wake of questions on the handling of security intelligence by both the FBI and CIA, this piece reflects on the horror of September 11, 2002, and calls for lessons to be learnt and for precautions to be taken to restore dignity and might to humanity, and honor to our future generations. - Editor
