this cannot be.

by Antwan Fields - Aries

i thought it was a nightmare when i opened my eyes
i saw new york on television, saw the smoke-filled skies
a dream i had before of something like this happening filled my mind
on every channel was a broadcaster, his or her face lined
then when the picture came up i almost died in anger and shock
saw the towers burning and realized that accident was a crock
i watched the footage of children cheering and realized again
i wouldn't have minded seeing every one of them dead right then
it dawned on me right then that anything i said
would be used against me later when i was dead
and when the south tower fell i saw my rage intensify
i was seething and felt at the same time like i would cry
finding bin laden was behind this made me have a will
like most of america, to find the son of a bitch and kill
but no matter how i felt, how much i was prepped
when the north tower fell i couldn't help it
i wept.

Reason for writing:

    i watched and cried and then felt nothing except rage at this. osama bin laden will pay the ultimate price
as will his followers.
