Coping with the 9.11.01 Aftermath

WORD ART

By Charlie Delgado,  October 24, 2001

  • Show us Lord.
  • What truth is this, that we hear and feel in our nations?
  • Is it the truth of one or the truth of the many?
  • It is real for we see and feel it, though we know not how to understand it?
  • Show us.
  • This cause without a flag destroys for what purpose.
  • For God, it is said.
  • Many of the brave and many of the innocent have gone and many will suffer and cry for those.
  • Show us.
  • Surely this is not God's truth, yet this flagless cause destroys the brave and the innocent.
  • How is this so in the name of God?
  • Show us.
  • Angry nations will now rise and strike death at this flagless destroyer, and in time it shall be so.
  • We pray forgiveness of the innocent that shall perish.
  • Show us.
  • Will it not be so, when we stand before God and our purpose in life is shown us.
  • Will the flagless destroyers not then see and fall at the feet of God and crumble in their shame and will their tears not fill rivers.
  • It shall be so.
  • Show us.
  • Will not then God turn to all the victims and ask forgiveness for the flagless ones, and will not they all stand before God and ask:
  • Show us Lord.
