Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: As I watched the scene unfolding via media, I grabbed my pen and began to write. This is what I saw and felt! ~ MANHATTAN TWIN TOWERS ~ Without a warning, missiles in the form of American planes: Come crashing into targets that are filled with innocent human beings! Both ~ as passengers headed for the impact of death, And as the receivers scream and take their last breath! Steel, concrete & marble explode becoming smaller deadly weapons: Killing and wounding the working people of our nation! Postal trucks melt into the street, As throngs of people race away from the fiery ball and heat! Twice 110 stories come crashing down in a flaming ball of fire: As smoke bellows up into the sky, reaching higher and higher! How is it that such evil is released? What will it take for hatred to be ceased? Almighty God who watches over this nation, let your healing flow into this generation; That witnessed the destruction and rampage of the enemy. Give our leaders your supernatural wisdom As they gather together with a plan of retaliation! We are your people and your hand will keep us free! As shock floods the hearts of people throughout the world, The TV shows a man holding a rag-doll that belonged to a little girl! A woman reporter saved by a fireman who had her kick off her heels, tells us how he slammed her to a wall,covered her with his body and it was his heartbeat she then feels! Thousands are dead, body parts cover the street! Wives, husbands, and children now suffer in what is unbelievable defeat! Their very hearts are breaking and filled with pain unspeakable! Within their minds sinks what seems so unbelievable! While tears flow from my eyes, I stop to realize: That the little personal wars the enemy brings into my life, are trivial! Lord, I place them in your hand. I ask that you heal my heart, as you heal the hearts of this land. In the spiritual realm, there is always war! Fought against the darkness and evil principalities~ I listen to hear your voice. I stand in the gap for peace. Tender, merciful God, in reverence of you, I bend my knees! AMEN Copyright ?2001 DeLayne Perry Jeremiah291396@netzero.net * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The following weeks, as people searched through the demolition, I would weep and pray for those hurting families. The following poem is the result: CHANGES OVER ME! ~Because of September 11, 2001~ September 11th - I watched as I cried.. I grew angry at the enemy that knotted my stomache up inside. Suddenly, I heard myself scream - realizing all those innocent people died! Children, little children taken away by hatred that made their tiny hearts stop their beat... Evil is the cold heart of the one in charge of stilling those little feet! A hunter and a baby killer is the one sitting in the seat, that passed the orders of events to destroy America's streets! As days passed by, my anger changed to sad and compassionate tears: For all the broken hearted ones that lost those that were dear. Today, I am more aware of the things I say and do. I am proud to be an American and I love the red, white and blue! Prayers around the world are being sent All because of this horrific event! Wake up everyone, God sees the hearts of man And He has a plan! Amen!

Evil has a plan. Out is the seed manifested on earth! It takes time, then comes the birth.. Of hatred and sorrow conceived in a mind that grew twisted and burrowed by pleasure entwined - with a heart that is blackened by a tape to rewind...... going back to a child that was raised in the blind about love and peace, that it never will find. The plot of murder has been unleashed with demons that fly in disguise for the beast. To what kind of a spirit has this soul been sold that derives satisfaction, breathing in a pit so cold.. so cold - that even his eyes are deep black, and the blood in his heart pumps words that attack... screaming within his veins run lies so deceived calling out to a God they have never known! While this atrocity in his heart was conceived! This enemy will reap what he has sown!

As the manifestation took place on the earth In spiritual realm, the war had been birthed! Will Americans humble themselves and pray Turning to God and seeking His face? This awakening period is a must... As we remember our motto "In God We Trust!"
