9/11 (and idiot edited for "the idiots" who need help in understanding the meaning of my poem!) Flames spiraling upward into the sky, (refers to the actual event which took place in New York City and Washington DC on September 11, 2001) Blood flowing downward from a cross, (refers to the teachings of Jesus Christ---especially to his exhortation that we should attempt to love "our neighbor"---even perhaps "our enemy"- -----The radical Moslems, etc.) More mangled bodies lying on the ground? (The "question of the day for America"------should we go to war with and thus invade Iraq which will undoubtedly lead to the deaths of many more innocent human beings, however this time they will be Iraqian human beings-------human beings, all of who have moms, dads, brothers, sisters, sons, or daughters---who have, by the way, also been created in the Image of God).
