In retrospect the Bush Years were all about 9-11
and the collapse of world trade and the world trade center.



WTC


watching terror come,
with total confusion
walls trembled calamitously
wasted cubicles crumbled
with terrible consequences.
we totally crumbled
wailing tortured cries.
where tiny corpses
withered to chalk.

we talked constantly
who took control?
wild terrorist cowboys
washed their cash
whipped the country
who took cash.
why this crisis?
who's to change?
weary terrorist commandos?
weak timid cowards?
western tradition continued

when tensions cooled
Widows taught children.
Wives told Congress.
Wisdom taught cautiously
Weary troops cried
War time cruelty
Worried taunted crowds
we took consolation
we tivo'd comedies.

while things change
world trade creeps.
Wallstreet trade collapsed
wishful thinking careened
without thoughtful care
when traders cheated
we thoroughly crashed.
world trade centered
with triumphant China
when time came
we took charge


white terrorists conspired
while toting colts
watching townhall citizens
wishing they could
wipe them clear
wanting to change
what thousands created
wonderful thoughtful change
with tremendous care

when they come

we'll trap criminals
