9/11/08: Seven years gone
TALK
By JOHN MARK EBERHART
Once more, the shadow issues:
"moral decay" and Hollyweird
vixens; vouchers, welfare queens;
guns, gay marriage, abortion.
I was brought up to believe
in perfection and grace --
or at least their pursuit.
That was my America.
Now, towers fall and lives
are crushed and still
the politicians feed on --
vermin in Oxxford suits.
Rain from another hurricane
is falling on my inland acre.
From the TV in the next room,
some fool keeps repeating:
"Four more years. Four more years."
