919 with those 911 blues – in development

September 19, 2008

Sure we wanted our vengeance.
But it wasn’t all black and white.

Our leaders had but one vision
through the eye of a gunner’s sight.

    It was foolish to attack Iraq. It distracted us from the true campaign against terrorism.

    100% agreed.
    Your poem has muscle.

    Why is it our vision is always better in retrospect? One of the strange quirks of intense emotions…

    muscle is a very good word. this definetly has muscle. and i like that not everything was black and white; in fact there was only one vision.

    Christine – I like muscle. I wish I had time to put together a full set, instead of a tricep here and a bicep there.

    Sorrow – yes, if only we could know what we thought we knew.

    Sarah – and that one vision through a scope is always a myopic one.

    Thank you all for stopping by!
