remembering 9-11 for the right reasons
it's been five years
it's been five years
five short years
five long years
five years that some have been without
five years of never-the-same-again
five years of relentless ache
five years of empty places
the best of us will remember
for all the right reasons
the worst of us will remind
for all the worst reasons
they dare to make our sacred dead
a lever to advance their fetid objectives
they've made one half million innocent iraqis
pay the piper pay the piper pay the piper
support our troops forever and
forever damn those who sent them there
now more than ever we are uglier than ever
our american beauty lost

This is so true.
every time I hear georgie porgie bushwhacko try to tie in 9-11 with Saddam with that lame and contrived broken insincere drivel of his - it takes me to the brink.
the two terms this administration has stolen from the american people have put us in an ugly hole that it will take decades to climb out of.
and we were just finally getting over the ugliness we incurred in south east asia.
from one pitfall to another.
