A Dastardly Act

                   A Dastardly Act

The dark menace has hung over our heads for years
A shadowy presence in the world of intrigue
A kink in the gene pool of desperate mankind
That on 9-11 joined the devil’s league

Preying upon the unaware of the world
With petulance assaulted the innocents
Thumbing their noses as if they were immune
For the commission of all their offense

But they cannot extricate themselves from guilt
And we will succeed much to their chagrin
There is no finish line in this crucial race
A fact that they simply do not comprehend

Our commitment is not for vainglory
But for the sake of the victims’ story
