I read this hanging on the wall at the American Express office I work at right now. I thought I would share.

Our American Pride
author: David Farrar

Our American pride
Has been tarnished and torn
By a Terrorist group
Not American born

For war on our country
Has now been declared
And the comforts we knew
Have all disappeared

We are now at ground zero
And many are lost
But the enemy will pay
Regardless of cost

They committed a crime
So horrific and sad
With warp evil minds
So sadistic and mad

With suicide plots
From deceptions well planned
They disrupted our lives
And blemished our land

Yet through the wet tears
That r i p p e d us apart
Their course of destruction
Only strengthened our heart

Because united we stand
With that Will to survive
And no one can crush
What keeps us alive

We're a nation of people
And a rainbow coalition
Fighting Terrorist acts
Intercepting their mission

We will build from each other
What it takes to succeed
With American pride
Which we'll never concede

And with God as our witness
We are destined to win
This war they began
From their evils and sin

This was written about 9/11 but in light of things going on right now, I have to ask, When did we become a country divided? I am not saying if I am for or against the war, I wont get into that debate. But why can we not all stand together now and everyday instead of all the hate, protests, anger, etc? We are all one, we are all here today, do you really want to think about what you are doing today might be the last thing you ever get to do? How did you spend your last minute, was with hate and anger or was it in love and happiness? Why do we continue to expend wasted energy on being angry and full of hate and bitterness? Our days are short, how do you want to spend yours?
