our nation
August 6, 2011
We have come to offend,
We have come to resent.
Bringing blood were no friend,
Bringing pain as we've meant.
No one's here to defend,
We have come to torment.
What has happened to our nation?
Why did we come to this extent?
Is this really our creation?
Is this what we intend?
Is this our consolation?
Do we want this discontent?
What has happened to redemption?
Did we forget where we descent?
Do we need devastation,
To fulfill our content?
Do we need desperation?
Do we need this event?
