Scare Force One
Posted: May 3, 2009
Flying in the face of reason…
They called that big bird "Scare Force One"
that buzzed by Liberty.
It frightened New York City mad.
It was insanity.
A photo-op some claimed it was
for our new President.
But those who saw that jumbo jet
were fooled. They thought it meant
another terrorist attack
like eight short years ago.
Thinking the worst they thought there might
be one more Ground Zero.
It only goes to verify
our nightmares gallop still,
that 911 haunts our land
and for a long time will.
O God, please calm our anxious hearts
that find it hard to trust.
We have to leave the past behind.
For goodness sake, we must!
