We Will Prevail

Angela Swanger
[one_clueless_chic@hotmail.com]

It is not the retaliation; We will prevail
It is not the vengeance; We are strong
As the horrendous attacks play out;

Thousands are called home.

A part of every American fades.

From sea to shining sea; we mourn -- the detrimental loss.

Yet, unity and solidarity keeps us strong!

For America will defend her freedom.

With patriotism;
We love,
and we unite;
As we battle our terrorist.

It is not the retaliation, but we will prevail.

Author Notes            It may not be exhibited in this poem, but I am a writer that is inspired by the words of William Faulkner. I feel that we, as writers/poets hold, the responsibility of communicating truths of the heart through the power of the pen.
