Description
With their screams of terror, they rose to their feet,
Clouds of dust flying down Liberty Street,
Confused and bewildered and stricken with fear,
They looked to their leader for new hope to appear.

They mindlessly followed as his ignorance led,
The blood of their loved ones was soon to be shed,
But the tears in their eyes, they shone red white and blue,
While all were left blinded from the ash-covered truth.

Some flocked to the churches, some pitted their lives
Against thousands of those who had 'yet to arrive,'
But soon 'those' would come, planning lives to suppress,
So they cried, "Give us liberty, or give them death!"

Before they could realize, before they could think,
The one who had led them had them steered to the brink.
There he decided to show those who had killed,
All the lives that had ended, all the blood that was spilled.

The bombs had exploded and they watched, entertained,
Thousands more innocent lives being drained,
Survivors flocked to mosques with hearts filled with dread,
In their eyes, shone their tears of green, black and red.

A hatred had been filled in the hearts of two,
As reflected mistakes left more than one point of view,
But someday they will realize they are one in the same...
The tears fell into one, only one left to blame.
