SWING, BATTER, BATTER! SWING BATTER!
"SWING BATTER! BATTER! SWING BATTER! "
Time to stop whining and crying
Reminiscing and sighing,
And dwelling on the past!
Those days are GONE
They're OVER!
They did not last
Stand up straight!
You've got a date
With the
Rest of your life!
DONT BE LATE!
Pick up your bat,
Step up to the plate,
Keep your eye on the ball, and
SWING!!
Hit it HARD!
Make it SING!
You've only got
One Bell to ring,
So
MAKE SOME NOISE!!!
Don't even worry about it
If you don't swing with "poise "
And don't even think about performing for ya "boyz!"
Be an individual!
Be your OWN Man!
Forget about ya crew!!
After all,
They're all confused , and don't know WHAT to do!
Just a bunch crabs in the barrel
Who always like to "hang out"
But get jealous when you try to
Climb out, and get yourself some clout!
I say,
Ball up ya fist tight,
And knock 'em ALL out of your way!
You weren't meant to live life in a barrel!
NO WAY!!
So reach for the sky!
Have a ball!
You really CAN " have it ALL!"
So, SWING, BATTER, BATTER! SWING BATTER!
It don't matter how many times you've struck out
Stepping up to the plate
Is what life's all about!

YOUR GRACE STILL AMAZES ME COVER Phillips Craig and Dean Sung by Elgin Bolling AKA El Prophet the Scribe
This is a practice run of Phillips Craig and Dean's Classic, YOUR GRACE STILL AMASES ME, that I am singing today in morning worship. I've since worked out the kinks in the song, especially on the "E" Vowels which sound very whiney and lack power. I am as prepared as I can be and must remember to focus on leading people to worship, and not so much a vocal performace, which is always a challenge. Perhaps in a later post i will have some musical backup .

When God Ran (worship video w/ lyrics)
Working on this song also... LOVE it... Imagine God Running...
"Your Grace Still Amazes Me" Phillips, Craig & Dean
Just learned this song after MANY MONTHS of consistent practice. I had so much difficulty singing it, and then one day I was led to discover that the song is NOT so much SUNG, as it is PRAYED. THAT'S when everything comes together. When Im in that place of worship that I call "the cocoon" where everything seems to drop away and it's just you and God, it's a transcendent place that is indescribable and where these lyrics take on a power that is incredible.
Amazed, by Phillips Craig and Dean, from the CD "Top Of My Lungs", 2006
I cannot wait to lead morning worship with this beautiful song of adoration. I'm currently practicing it with my pastor/vocal coach. I am so fortunate that my voice fits into the key of these gifted singers.

ELGIN BOLLING singing I WANNA BE MORE LIKE YOU
One of my absolute favorite songs by Clint Brown, and also my first one recorded by my vocal teacher when I finally learned how to relax, sing from my diaphragm with the right pitch and tone... I frequently sing this in my own private worship time. It's a song that is not so much"sung" as it is "prayed" if you know what I mean.
I ALWAYS WIN! By Elgin Bolling aka El Prophet the scribe
I ALWAYS WIN!
By Elgin Bolling aka El Prophet the scribe
I ALWAYS WIN!!
Man, oh man, where do I begin?
To tell you all about my success!
I tell ya, boye, I must confess
That I’m accustomed to WINNING
That’s the reason I’m always grinning.
Doesn’t matter if the bases are loaded
And it’s the bottom of the 9th
I’m pitching a” No hitter” The umps yelling,
STRIKE!!! YOU”RE OUT!!!!!
That’s when I dance on the mound
‘Cause I’ve got that clout!
Yessiree, WINNING is what I’m all about!
Whenever you see my smiling face,
My cheesy grin never leaves my face
It’s so very difficult to erase
When receiving my trophy, again, for winning FIRST PLACE!
I don’t follow behind,
I set the pace, WHATEVER the race!
Victory’s my favorite flavor, and boy do I love the taste!
I make a mockery of mediocrity
It’s something I always erase
I aint bragging,
I’m just stating my case.
Like a Barnyard Rooster,
I’ve got a GOOD reason to crow,
Because I KNOW that I KNOW
That even if I LOSE, I STILL WIN!
Because the SIN
Is to NEVER begin!
You gotta be in it to win it!
To win you have to start!
This game of excellence is NOT for the faint of heart
If you have doubts, depart from them and let them GO
Trust in THE LORD JESUS, and go with HIS flow
And in NO time, don’t ya know, don’t ya know don’t ya know
YOU’LL GROW!
TALLER than your FOES that you have defeated!
Because in HEAVENLY PLACES, you are definitely seated.

Sept 11 We Remember by Elgin Bolling aka El Prophet The Scribe
To The men and women who died
To the Parents who cried
To the husband who lost his spouse
To the mother who comes home to an empty house
To New York's Bravest
Who fought so valiantly to save us
To all the selfless volunteers
To all of you who've shed your tears
And to the God who calms our fears
On the 11th of September
We will always Remember
What we lost
and what we won
There's so much left to be done

SEPTEMBER MEMORIES 911 poem By Elgin Bolling
SEPTEMBER MEMORIES By Elgin Bolling
On a clear day, they say
You can see forever!
But we never thought
That our Friendly Skies
Would ever witness
THOUSANDS DIE.
Or hear Billions CRY..
White Hot Tears
Falling from sorrowful eyes
Of Burning Towers Like
Post Summer Rain
A testimony that Our Great City
Would Be Forever Changed…
Insane Day!
Inane Day!
The Day I hated Planes…
Who’s to Blame?
What’s His Name?
What Foul Victory Did He Claim?
By having people Slain…
If you went to work, THAT Day,
You were sorry that you came.
That is, if you SURVIVED
Some didn’t come home…
Alive.
In September…
I Still Remember…
People Broken and Dismembered!
Towers Falling!
People Crawling
Men, Women, and Children
Bawling.
Running blindly down the Halls
Fire Burning on the Walls
Somewhere …in the desert air…. Osama…Laughing…
Struggling for breath… Gasping …
Getting help from strangers
Without Asking.
Firefighters bravely answering the Call
Hundreds of people starting to Fall…
Flying Briefly in Empty Space…
Savoring the last sweet breath of freedom
Before landing on their face.
The Twins begin to crumble…
People Stumble…
I mumble…
“Our City…..Humbled”.
Who Fumbled?
Who Dropped the Ball?
My mind begins to Stall..
Is this All?
Or is there more to come?
Do we evacuate?
Or Get a Gun?
No Where To Hide
No Place to Run…
The Mayor’s Finest Hour
He spoke with resolve and did not cower.
Regardless of your Political Affiliation
On THAT DAY we were ALL ONE NATION
And even though it was Hard
On that day even Atheists Prayed To God
The pain never ceases
We continue to this day
To pick up the broken pieces
But as Americans we stand strong.
In the aftermath of this terrible wrong
On a clear day, they say
You can see forever!
But we never thought
That our Friendly Skies
Would ever witness
THOUSANDS DIE.
Or hear Billions CRY..

Miss Liberty’s Got a Lot to Say Today By Elgin Bolling
Miss Liberty’s Got a Lot to Say Today
By Elgin Bolling.
Welcome, Welcome! One and all , to Me!
That’s right, I’m You’re good “Old Friend”
The Statue of Liberty!
Give me your tired and your poor..
But don’t come HERE NO MORE!!
You’re being stopped at the door..
The statue of Liberty! That's me!
BOY! my feet are KILLIN' ME!!
I haven’t sat down in YEARS
And I’ve shed many tears, my dears,
But don’t YOU fear! As you can see,
I’m STILL standing here
Right where I’m supposed to be!
Smack dab in the middle of this here, MESS!
Trying REAL hard not to stress..
Hard to hold it together with So many people
Walking up and down up under my dress!
Putting me to the test
I guess I’ll grin and
Do my best to hold high the torch
Lookin toward Manhattan Island
Sometimes I just wanna drop this torch in the water
And start to crying/
Too many folks fightin’ screamin’ and dyin’
I AINT LYING!
Gimmie ONE plane ticket and
I’ll be a FLYIN!
What I need is a vacation
From being a symbol for the nation
So TIRED of riding this “freedom train”
When do we arrive at the station?
The location where we’re FINALLY All ONE NATION under GOD?
In a world full of atheists
THAT’S gonna be kinda…hard.
Belief in GOD should be a PLUS
Aint it written on your money somewhere
IN GOD WE TRUST????!!!
LOOK! IT”S WRITTEN ON YOUR MONEY!
LOOK! IT”S WRITTEN ON YOUR MONEY!!!!
Ya know… this aint even funny.
One more thing,
Let me tell you, honey..
Instead of just snapping pictures of ME
From the Deck of the Staten Island Ferry
Why don’t you do me a favor?
Turn to your neighbor
And treat HIM Merry?!
I KNOW it’s not
Christmas day, or any other Holiday,
But loving one another
Is still OK!!
Don’t you forget to PRAY!
On your knees is where you should stay
Then you’ll never stray.
And HEY!...
I aint going NOWHERE.
I’ll be right here on ELLIS.
That is….
If the Mayor
Doesn’t sell us.

I’m 50! Aint that NIFTY? A Birthday Poem By Elgin Bolling
I’m 50! Aint that NIFTY?
Jumped outta this bed this morning in a Jiffy!
...Took a shower, put on powder, don’t I look “Spiffy?!”
It’s my BIRTHDAY TODAY! YEA!!!!! My wife kissed me!
My dog wagged his tail, and then, he licked me!
I looked in my mirror, see,
Felt my head in the back and said, Gee,
Looks like some of my hair’s started to FLEE!
It’s getting harder to SEE, to some DEGREE, without my glasses on ME….
My abs are GONE.
But my stomach’s been set FREE!
Sometimes it appears to be ….Leading Me….
It’s just like my BACK!!
If I move a little too FAST
It goes outta WHACK!!
Which is almost as much fun as my
Occasional ATHSMA ATTACK!
My knees, don’t bend
They join the FUN
Hey, what’s this spot here, on my TONGUE?
I’m starting to lose some teeth
One, by one, by one…….
Gotta STOP chewing GUM!!
Er..anybody got SOME??
OH BOY!!! AINT TURNING 5o FUN????
I got to carry an umbrella, because now I cant stand the SUN
And I’m BLACK!
Go figure… THAT.
According to SOME, I should be off somewhere making a
“HOLE IN ONE”
Putting right thar on da “GREEN”
But THAT AINT the kinda Fun I NEED!
I LOVE
Singing and writing
And Kung Fu Fighting!
Making ART,
And “BUSTING FARTS!!”
NO NEED, NO NEED
TO DEPART!!!
Internet blogging and incessant clogging
My arteries with
Deliciously GREASY
Never ever QUEASY
ALWAYS goes down EASY
“Wifey FOOD!!!”
If you got some Fried Chicken,
IM IN THE MOOD!
Making love,
Praising and praying to God ABOVE
And inside
Going with the family for a ride..
My kids make my chest
Swell with PRIDE
So Glad my wife signed on for the RIDE
This is for LIFE
Honey, Im SO GRATEFUL
That you are my WIFE
I know you married me
To be POLITE!
But thanks for sharing the joy and STRIFE.
And yet there’s so much MORE to COME
Next YEAR this TIME….
I”LL BE FIFTY ONE!!!
Wrote this poem and performed it at my Birthday party.

I Began To Cry,
“IM GOIN’ UNDER!!!”
“I’M GONNA DIE!!!”

He Said Unto Me
If You Didn’t Doubt
You Would’ve Continued To Float!

That’s When It All

Woman preachers shouldn’t be Teachers??? By Elgin Bolling aka El Prophet The Scribe
Woman preachers shouldn’t be Teachers???
By Elgin Bolling aka El Prophet The Scribe
Are our minds too small to believe
A woman can’t receive a call??
Do you entertain that thought at all?
How ‘bout y’all??
If we ALL be ONE in Christ,
Who also paid the price,
Then why don’t we think
A Woman preacher’s nice?
Some people want to have a fit
Others get sick
And go as far as Hit you with the Holy Bible
Don’t even care if they’re sued for libel
“According to THE BIBLE”, They Say..
Women are SUICIDAL!! Okay??!!
“They’re MUCH TOO Emotional, you see..”
Everybody KNOWS Ya gotta have TESTOSTERONE To Lead!
Isn’t this what God Decreed?
You can’t win
If you got Estrogen
If God can speak through an Ass
How come a woman can’t get a Pass?
Don’t ‘cha dare answer too fast
Before asking the First and The Last
With me, it’s a struggle
It’s like a bubble that keeps expanding
Rising higher and never landing
There’s much on this subject to debate
But if woman’s serving up the word
And Puttin’ good food on MY spiritual plate
How is this MISTAKE?
What SHOULD I HATE THIS?
If my soul is hungry
Its better that I ate this.
The Word Of God Teaches about
HIS Greatness
No need to berate this
Let’s NOT Debate this.
Does the VESSEL really MATTER?
Do you remember when your little feets went
“Pitter, Patter?”
It was a WOMAN
Who cared for you!
Who washed and taught and nurtured you !
Who tied your shoe!
Who solved the mystery of
“Two Plus Two”!
She rocked you in the cradle
Are you saying that
Now because she’s a PASTOR
That she’s s not ABLE???

Are our minds too small to believe
A woman can’t receive a call??
Do you entertain that thought at all?
How ‘bout y’all??
If we ALL be ONE in Christ,
Who also paid the price,
Then why don’t we think
A Woman preacher’s nice?
Some people want to have a fit
Others get sick
And go as far as Hit you with the Holy Bible
Don’t even care if they’re sued for libel

DRAGONS AND HEAVENLY GLORY By Elgin Bolling aka El Prophet The Scribe
Dragons and Heavenly Glory - Spoken word poem by Elgin Bolling aka El Prophet the Scribe in response to Bruce Lee's quote from ENTER THE DRAGON "Dont concentrate on the finger or you will miss all the heavenly glory" br / Indeed. My question was did the Master himself ever contemplate the identity of the MASTER of his SOUL?
DRAGONS AND HEAVENLY GLORY

Concentrating On Fingers
Makes you Miss All “Heavenly Glory,”

DECEIVING AND BELIEVING
By El Prophet The Scribe
God Is Speaking
But You Do Not Hear It
Because You’re Communicating
With Demon Spirits.
These Foul Spirits, That You’ve Been Seeing
Will Tear Your Soul
And Leave You Bleeding.
These Disembodied Bottom Feeders
Use Balls Of Crystal
And Tarot Card Readers
Masters And Mistresses
Of Divination
Use Magic Mirrors To Deceive
The Nations
Hell And Death
Is Their Destination
God’s WORD is True.

OCCUPATION AND EVICTION
By Elgin Bolling aka El Prophet The Scribe
My Room Is A Tomb
Too Dusty
Too Musty
For A Broom
Chewin’ Grass like A Cow
I Don’t Eat With A Spoon!
When Stars Come Out
Then I Bark At The Moon!
My Memories

Cant Remember, Things Are Hazy
Gettin’ Scuzzy, Fuzzy, And Lazy…
Folks Thinkin’ Im Mad And I’m Crazy..
My Hair Aint Been Cut in Days…

They Bind Me With Ropes And Chains
And Get Ruff With Me..
Start Rippin’ Rope and Chain Like They wuz Paper
Folks Start Running To Places That Are Safer…
Cuttin My Flesh With Stones
Makes Me Scream , Hollar and Moan
I Take it one Step Higher
I Start Thowin Myself Headlong into Fire…
The Devil’s a Liar
But Tellin The Truth About Me,
When He Says, With Malevolent Glee
“I Gots Total ,Complete , Absolute Control of THEE!!”
I See Jesus Gettin Outta A Boat
Start Runnin Towards him
Cause He’s My Only Hope!
“MASTER! MASTER! SET ME FREE!!!

He Cast Those Demons Right Outta Me!
That Jesus!
He Came JUST in Time!
He Cast Those Demons Into A Herd Of Swine!
Well, Pigs Cant Fly
So They All Began to Die
When They Fell Off That Cliff.
Once They Hit The Water,
Man, ALL Those Pork Chops Were Stiff!\
Dead In The Water They Be
Which Threw Their Owners
Straight Into Bankruptcy.
Who Told Jesus, “GET!”
And he Started Goin.

THERE IS ONLY STRIFE AND “TERRIBLE BADNESS”

RIDICULE, HUNT US DOWN AND DO VIOLENCE TO US

AND LIKE MY BROTHER, PAUL, SAYS,

WILLING 2 FEEL THE SHAME.
FOR ONCE I ACCEPTED YOU ,

AND SO I DEPEND ON YOU,
TO FIGHT ALL MY BATTLES AND TO SEE ME THROUGH.

Cant Wait To See Your Face,
Which Looks Just Like Me,
Cause You Said, Made In YOUR IMAGE,
And Likeness, I BE…
Who…. Formerly…
Was ……Dust…..
Lyin’ On The Ground….
THAT …Wuz ME.
‘Till Breath Of Life , You Blew GLORIOUSLY IN
And I Became a LIVING SOUL, FULLY ANIMATED!!!
Then… Foolishly….
Wanted to be Emancipated.
Then Became I Lost To You…
Ate Disrespectfully From a Tree of Knowledge,
Thus Becoming…a ….. Fool.
Whom You Blessed, Nevertheless
And Came To Get Me
Up Outta My Mess
Holy Spirit Took Me To Skool
Introduced Me To Jesus, Sayin’ This Be The Rule:
Repent and Confess, And All Will Be Kool.
Now I'm Back 2 The Beginning, And Here 2 The End!
Jesus Is LORD , And I’m BORN AGAIN!

TEMPLE CLEANSING By Elgin Bolling aka EL Prophet The Scribe
TEMPLE CLEANSING
By EL Prophet The Scribe
I Remember That Day,
I Thought I Was “Trippin!”
Jesus made a Braded Cord,
And Full Grown MEN
He Started WHIPPIN!
They Started To Duck!
But Were Outta Luck!
Messiah Starting Swinging
Like Bruce Lee
Using Nun Chucks!
Doves And Cages
Started Flyin’!
He Overturned Tables!
Hey! I Aint Lyin!!
People “Got Spanked”
Man!! It Was Funny!!
They “Got Outta Dodge” Quick!
And Wuz Droppin’ They Money!
“GET OUT! GET OUT!!”
I Heard Jesus, Say,
“ALL OF YOU MONEYCHANGERS,
YOU ALL GO AWAY!!”
“MY FATHER’S HOUSE, IS A HOUSE
MEANT FOR PRAYER!!”
Then He Reached Right On Over.
And Threw A Few Chairs!
They Bounced, And Then Crashed,
All Right Down The Stairs!!
“PHARISEES, AND SADCUCEES!!
DEN OF VIPERS, YOU BE!!”
But They Didn’t Hear Him,
They Started To Flee!
Those Folks Who Thought Jesus
Was Only, “Nice and Meek”
DEFINITELY Saw Another Side of Messiah THAT Week!

AFTER THE ANOINTING By El Prophet The Scribe
AFTER THE ANOINTING
By El Prophet The Scribe
Our King Commeth
Dressed In Robes Of Brilliant Majesty.
Older Than The Desert Sands, Is HE.
Holding Stars, Like Diamonds, In HIS Hands.
“A Royal Diadem”, HE Says, That’s ME!
“You WILL Reign, WITH ME Eternally,
If You Wait, My Child, Patiently.”
But Be Thou Forewarned,
For The Father Of Lies
Can Also Present Himself
So Gorgeously Adorned…
In Shimmering Apparel!
But His Praises,
Both Insincere,
And Very Narrow.
Singing Sweet Incantations,
That Tickle The Ears,
Soon Switching To Vile Words
That Make You Shudder And Quake
With Fear.
Giving False Words Of Admiration
Which In Time Lead To Sin And Condemnation
Of Brethren Most Dear To God
Who Still Speaks
In Still Small Voices
Calling To Us, His Children, To Make Right Choices
That Lead To Joy, and Life
Not Degradation and Strife.
My Child, Narrow Is The Path That Leadeth Unto Life
And Though It Like a Tightrope Seem,
Thou Hast Been Given Hind’s Feet To Walk
Most Agile Upon High Places
The Enemy Cannot Reach.
Though He Claw and Tear At You
Threatening to Knock You From Your Seat
In Heavenly Places. With The One Who Holds All The Aces.

GAG AND SWALLOW By EL Prophet The Scribe
GAG AND SWALLOW
By EL Prophet The Scribe
Gaggin’ On Gnats
But Swallowin’ Camels!
Blind Guides and Hypocrites,
You Are So Narrow!
“Why Do We Fast, And You Do Not?”
Because The Bridegroom Is Who You’ve Got!
And Long As He Is Here With You,
Fill Up Your Plate, And Eat Up Too!
“You Seem Like A Religious Man,
How Come You Never Wash Your Hands?”
Pharisees And Sadducees!
Oh Why Do You Bother Me?!
So Concerned With “Outward Looks”,
While Deep Inside, There’s Lots of Guck!!
You Look Like You All Sit On Thrones,
But Inwardly Are Dead Men’s Bones!
Your “Pretty Cup”
Is Filled With Muck!
Makes Me Say, Yuck!
Hey Guys, What’s UP???
“C’mon Jesus! If You Please,
We Would Like A Sign From Thee!”
No Sign Will Be Given Thee
Except For JONAH!
Now Leave Me BE!
“Do Not Worry Bout This Jesus Fellow…
By BE- EL- ZE- BUB He Casts Out Devils!”
I KNOW Your Thoughts They Are Not Hidden
And Your Foul Blasphemy Is NOT Forgiven!
A House Divided, It Cannot Stand
I Cast Them Out Because I AM!
Devils Casting Out Devils? That’s INSANE!
You Would Know That, If You Had A Brain!

DRINK UP
By El Prophet The Scribe
Drink The Milk Of The Word
ABBA FATHER Said.
Your Spirit Will Grow
And You Will Be Fed!
But you’d Rather Be
DEAD
Than
Fed
So Fulla EGO
That You Cant Be
Led.
There.
Im Done.
Nuff Said.
PROVE ME
By El Prophet The Scribe
I Am The Head
And NOT The Tail
And That Is Why
I NEVER Fail.
How Can I Not
End Up On Top?
When God Keeps Blessing,
And Does Not STOP!
PROVE ME! He Says,
Put ME To The Test!
And I Will Bless You
Right Up Outta Your Mess!
Before My Tithe Is Out Of My Pocket,
He Fills It Again,
And Does Not Stop It!
God’s Got an Overflow
Filled and Filled
With Lots Of Dough!
Just Sow your Seed
And Watch It Grow!
NEBBO’S SONG A view from the other side of the furnace
By El Prophet The Scribe
Is It HOT in Here,
Or Is It JUST ME?
Is That FOUR Men In The Fire
Instead of THREE?
And Don’t Cha Think
It’s Kinda Odd
That ONE of ‘Em’s
Lookin’ Like The
SON OF GOD??
Better Let “Em Out Quick
And Let ‘Em BE!
Don’t Want That Fire Of God
Consumin’ ME!!
ROCK IN THE WATER
By El Prophet The Scribe
I Must’ve Been A DOPE
To Get Up Out Of That Boat!
I Looked At The Waves
And Started Sinkin’
Soon, It Would Be Sea Water
That I’d Be A Drinkin”
“HELP ME JESUS!”
I Began To Cry,
“IM GOIN’ UNDER!!!”
“I’M GONNA DIE!!!”
That’s When The Master Took Hold Of My Hands
And We Both Walked On Those Waves
Just Like Dry Land!
When We Were Both Back In The Boat
He Said Unto Me
If You Didn’t Doubt
You Would’ve Continued To Float!
GET OFF THE RAG
By El Prophet The Scribe
Time 4 Me
To Stop Pretending
That My Life Aint
Broken
And Don’t Need
Mending.
Truth Be Told
It’s Shattered To
Pieces.
MY Righteousness?
Like Filthy Rags,
And Smellin’ Like
Feces.
“Doin’ MY BEST?”
HA!!
My Sin Just
Increases.
When I Trust In the Savior..
That’s When It All
Ceases.

SEPTEMBER MEMORIES By Elgin Bolling
SEPTEMBER MEMORIES By Elgin Bolling
On a clear day, they say
You can see forever!
But we never thought
That our Friendly Skies
Would ever witness
THOUSANDS DIE.
Or hear Billions CRY..
White Hot Tears
Falling from sorrowful eyes
Of Burning Towers Like
Post Summer Rain
A testimony that Our Great City
Would Be Forever Changed…
Insane Day!
Inane Day!
The Day I hated Planes…
Who’s to Blame?
What’s His Name?
What Foul Victory Did He Claim?
By having people Slain…
If you went to work, THAT Day,
You were sorry that you came.
That is, if you SURVIVED
Some didn’t come home…
Alive.
In September…
I Still Remember…
People Broken and Dismembered!
Towers Falling!
People Crawling
Men, Women, and Children
Bawling.
Running blindly down the Halls
Fire Burning on the Walls
Somewhere …in the desert air…. Osama…Laughing…
Struggling for breath… Gasping …
Getting help from strangers
Without Asking.
Firefighters bravely answering the Call
Hundreds of people starting to Fall…
Flying Briefly in Empty Space…
Savoring the last sweet breath of freedom
Before landing on their face.
The Twins begin to crumble…
People Stumble…
I mumble…
“Our City…..Humbled”.
Who Fumbled?
Who Dropped the Ball?
My mind begins to Stall..
Is this All?
Or is there more to come?
Do we evacuate?
Or Get a Gun?
No Where To Hide
No Place to Run…
The Mayor’s Finest Hour
He spoke with resolve and did not cower.
Regardless of your Political Affiliation
On THAT DAY we were ALL ONE NATION
And even though it was Hard
On that day even Atheists Prayed To God
The pain never ceases
We continue to this day
To pick up the broken pieces
But as Americans we stand strong.
In the aftermath of this terrible wrong
