Amanda


I've seen all the pictures
Of a New York I never met
And the New York that changed our history
And our great guarded fortress
Meant to protect us from foes
Burning and broken
And the people who led small lives
Now famous for their pain
An answering machine says good-bye
I've oscillated between grief and anger and fear
Glued to my television in the event of an emergency
While growing ever uneasy
Of the decisions I cannot make
I've defended my country against the critical attacks
Almost as painful as the physical
From friends who cannot know the pride
Even from the most embittered
American singing
"Oh, say can you see"?
And wondering if they do
Or if they ever will.

And all we can do now is hope.



Not enough.

And now it's been a whole year...

Amanda, someone told me of your relationship with Spartus, so I have put you both on the "h2g2 Romances" entry. If you wish to be removed, or I've got your status wrong, please let me know.
