This is a poem that was written by a student at Prestonsburg Community College,
her name is Dana Holland.

The Lady

I wonder what she thought As she stood there, strong and tall.
She couldn't turn away, She was forced to watch it all.
Did she long to offer comfort As her country bled?
With her arm forever frozen High above her head.
She could not shield her eyes
She could not hide her face
She just stared across the water
Keeping Freedom's place.
The smell of smoke and terror
Somehow reduced her size
So small within the harbor
But still we recognized...
How dignified and beautiful On a day so many died
I wonder what she thought,
And I know she must have cried.

May the memories
held deep within your heart
help to soothe your spirit
at this time.

We The People

To whom it may concern
Our nation has been damaged by your inhumane actions
You, who we don't even know

You have destroyed our property
You have destroyed our security
You have destroyed husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, our sisters and brothers
You have even destroyed our children.

You who we've never even met

SO LET US INTRODUCE OURSELVES

We are a peaceful nation,
We believe in a respect and opinions of mankind
We believe in our creator
We believe in that we have certain unalienable rights
That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
We believe in We The People Of The United States of America

We are the sleeping giant, that you have awoken

It's true, you who we have never met have destroyed a part of us

But you haven't destroyed our spirit because
We were made in the USA and that comes with a guarantee

We guarantee that when we meet you, face to face

We are going to Kick your ass.

Signed

We The People of The United Stated of America
