BIN LADEN IS DEAD

Misc Poems

Osama is dead,
But terrorism is not.
My fellow Americans are dead.
They will always be.
Nothing will bring them back,
Not even his death.
Nothing will quell our grief-
Not flowers, not funerals,
Not even “I’m sorry for your loss”
Nothing will be the same.
But, at the same time,
Nothing can tear US Apart.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Kinda cheesy, but patriotic nonetheless.
Our assignment was to write a poem based on a headline. So I did.
