day fifty-six: just as evil as i. 9/11

i once wrote a poem
about a terroristic act
one that shook the foundation
of my nation
one that made me question
the nature of humans
and how they can be so evil
and i wrote this poem
years ago
probably a year after the act was committed
so lets say i wrote it when i was ten
that was then
now i know more about people
and i'm understanding the nature of humans more and more
but i don't think i'll ever understand
how you could drive a plane into a building
filled with innocent people
just for sick kicks
even if they are religious convictions
there are some things that are just wrong
and sometimes i pray that God will wipe that race from the earth
then i say, "never mind, God, just save their souls
they are just as evil as i."
