Terrorism Poem by Jim Yerman

When the towers were brought down on 9-11...we were filled with panic and fear...

"Terrorism happens over there! " We cried.
"It' doesn't happen here! "

But when we stop for a moment...
and take a look within

We see people being terrorized...
for the color of their skin...

We see people being mocked and ridiculed...
it really is quite scary

Seeing couples being terrorized...
for whom they choose to marry...

We see people being in this country...
being scorned and told to leave...

Terrorized for nothing more...
than in what God they do believe...

If any act of terrorism...causes panic...creates fear.
Then how, in the name of freedom...can we let it happen here?
