9/11: 17th Anniversary

Seventeen years ago

America was shaken to the core.

Since not too long after that

We've been involved in a non-stop war.

 

Homeland security

Became an issue that since then

Hoped to assure Americans

That such attacks won't happen again.

 

During the past seventeen years

Many measures have been taken

To make us safe; however, it's time

For sleeping minds to reawaken.

 

Lacking foresight, our president

Has gone after the people who

Have worked to make us safe. The man

Doesn't seem to have a clue.

 

Discrediting investigators,

Removing them from key positions,

And pulling security clearances

Because of paranoid suspicions

 

Will only make us vulnerable

To future terrorist attacks.

Watch how his Republican friends

In Congress support him. Political hacks!

 

The president also hates

When investigators eye

American involvement with

The Russian mafia. We know why.

 

It's hard to watch as the president--

With almost each careless endeavor--

Stupidly goes out of his way

To make us more unsafe than ever.
