  1. "Operation: Iraqi Freedom"
  2.  
  3. I remember the 11th of September,
  4. Faces charred in dying embers.
  5. I remember people closing their eyes,
  6. Holding each other close, as they died.
  7. Pointless carnage no one understands,
  8. Is it human nature we tried to reprimand?
  9. Or like the survivors,
  10. Dark or light,
  11. Do we stand together like we did that night?
  12. Take a stand against hatred,
  13. Fight back with love,
  14. Be kind to your girlfriends,
  15. Don't be so rough.
  16. Love is the only thing that can beat hate,
  17. Don't let what we stood for dissipate.
  18.  
  19. “To Fade Away”
  20.  
  21. Alabaster skin,
  22. And gorgeous raven curls,
  23. You say you hate your body,
  24. But I relish every curve.
  25. Even when you’re states away,
  26. You know I’m not far,
  27. I see the real you,
  28. See who you really are.
  29. Now I’m living in the past,
  30. Remembering us,
  31. Lingering on things,
  32. Best left undiscussed.
  33. And as I ponder love,
  34. To this very day,
  35. I marvel still,
  36. It leaves me shrill,
  37. How fast it fades away.
