  • Two Thousand One, Nine Eleven

    Two thousand one, nine eleven
    Five thousand plus arrive in heaven
    As they pass through the gate,
    Thousands more appear in wait

    A tall bearded man,
    wearing a stovepipe hat
    steps forward and greets them,
    Then says, "Lets chat".

    They settle down in seats of clouds
    A man named Martin shouts out proud
    "I have a dream!" and once he did
    The Newcomer says, "Your dream still lives."

    Groups of soldiers in blue and gray
    Others in khaki, and green then say
    "We're from Bull Run, Yorktown, the Maine"
    The Newcomer says, "You died not in vain."

    From a man on sticks one could hear
    "The only thing we have to fear.
    The Newcomer says, "We know the rest,
    trust us sir, we've passed that test."

    A man with a twang from New England shores
    Then proclaimed in a voice they had all heard before
    "Courage like yours does not hide in caves
    You can't bury freedom, in a grave,"

    A silence fell within the mist
    Somehow the Newcomer knew that this
    Meant time had come for her to say
    What was in the hearts of the five thousand plus that day

    "In the land of the living, we wrote reports,
    Watched our children play in sports
    Worked our gardens, sang our songs
    Went to church and clipped coupons

    We smiled, we laughed,
    we cried, we fought
    Unlike you, great we're not"

    The tall man in the stovepipe hat
    Stood and said, "don't talk like that!
    Look at your country, look and see
    You died for freedom, just like me"

    Then, before them all appeared a scene
    Of ruined streets and twisted beams
    Death, destruction, rubble and dust
    And people working just 'cause they must

    Hauling ash,
    lifting stones,
    Knee deep in hell
    But not alone

    "Look! Blackman, whiteman, brownman, and yellow
    Side by side helping their fellow!"
    So said Martin, as he watched the scene
    "Even from nightmares, can be born a dream."

    Down below three firemen raised
    The colors high into ashen haze
    The soldiers above had seen it before
    On Iwo Jima back in '44

    The man on sticks studied everything closely
    Then shared his perceptions on what he saw mostly
    "I see pain, I see tears,
    I see sorrow - but I don't see fear."

    "You left behind husbands and wives
    Daughters and sons and so many lives
    are suffering now because of this wrong
    But look very closely. You're not really gone.

    All of those people, even those you've never met
    All of their lives, they'll never forget
    Don't you see what has happened?
    Don't you see what you've done?
    You've brought them together, together as one.

    The man named Abe stood and said
    "Welcome my friends," and from there he led,
    five thousand Newcomers, all heroes to heaven
    On this day of our Lord, two thousand one nine eleven.
