As a Republican, I just want to gag when I hear the sociopaths in our party talk about family values. Oh, I understand why. Even though the Christian Fundamentalists know the truth, if you want their money and vote, you'd better convince them that you believe the Jonah and the whale story. But just for a second, let's not listen to one of Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson's old speeches; instead consider the #1 rule for discovering why people do the things they do, and that is "Follow the money".

I remember
sitting in the classroom
taking notes and listening to the teacher

all of a sudden
the teacher heres a crash
her face turns red as an apple
and she stands in awe

the class turns around
and is frightened
the twin towers just got hit
by a plane.

All the kids and teachers
running down the stairs
into the auditorium
till parents come and pick their kids up

I realize now
its 6 years ago
that all of this happened

Many heroes fell
for trying so hard
to save others
and many innocent people to

God bless New York City
Rest In Peace
I'll always remember
