Wake Up to Reality

by Lindsay   Mar 7, 2007


A morning
Just a normal morning
With school
And work

Wake up early
Just to leave on time
To go to that place
You had to be that day

Some stay home
For some reason
Or another
Just stay home

How could any normal morning
Wind up so bad?
How could any normal morning
End with the morning of millions?

Starting with a conspiracy
Ending with a tragedy
Starting in a fantasy after heavenly dreams
Ending with America’s worst nightmare

Down
Down
Down
A building goes

Down
Down
Down
Yet another goes

Buildings that nobody
Ever really noticed
Buildings that everybody
Saw in pictures in text books

These buildings
So far away
Yet
So important
These are the victims
Of a conspiracy
You can say otherwise
You can believe the lies of the government

But not me
I remember just as well
Just as well as everyone else
But I remember more than an airplane

I remember more than smoke
More than the victims who never made it out
More than the tears shed of millions
More than what you may think

Even at the age of twelve
Even at the age of ninety
One can see it was more than an airplane
It was the result of our corrupt government

No matter what you may think
Osama did not cause anything
Iraq did not cause anything
It was all a bunch of greedy men in the government
