My experience from the 911 attacks: Writing Contest

I don’t know why I was waking up so early this morning.
I can hardly call the 4 hours in bed sleep.
I turned on the tv and my computer on the way to the toilet.
My last coffee was cold,
it tasted like cold coffee.
my phone modem tried desperately to connect to CNN.com
and I have just seen a passenger plane crash into a skyscraper,
live on Fox news.
When WTC2 fell, I needed air.
The coffee was still cold, my modem was hot and I was speechless.
At least the air was fresh.

They where having discussions on all my TV channels.
My antenna found 4 of them.
2 channels were discussing the advantages of owning the ButtBuster
1 channel was showing the crash & fall while announcing
the upcoming special news special, sometime later
and on FOX news, a General was arguing the necessities of
nuclear retaliation.
Osama Bin Laden’s face was staring at me from a small square
in the corner of the TV-screen, while the rolling text informed me
about some football team loosing against some other team.

The general was nodding intimidatingly while the slick
welcomed suit TV commentator told him how right he was.
The advanced TV graphics, that normally needs a month of project management,
were showing American flags, warships, warplanes, explosions and the
well known slogans:
WAR ON TERROR
AMERICA AT WAR
or something like that

During the next couple of weeks, my 4 TV channels
were showing falling buildings, explosions,
pictures of terrorists, pictures of Bush,
the world premiere of the StairMaster, for the amazing 69,95 introduction offer
and my modem finally finished downloading the CNN webpage

Guess what?
falling buildings, explosions,
pictures of terrorists, pictures of Bush,
and a StairMaster banner Ad.

Everybody agreed… : “What the f u c k just happened?
Does anyone know something?
Nobody seems to know anything!
And it seemed reasonable to bomb Afghanistan back to the stone age.
The Taliban was hitting women, they were growing drugs
and they might have secret tunnels full of
evil terrorists, all wrapped up in the latest
fashion in ExplosiWear.

Gods Own Country, The Land of Freedom was whispering:
“They are evil, they kill women and children, they have kalashnikovs
and no soul…”
and why was that so?
“They are evil Muslim Terrorists…
How do you dare to ask WHY???
How Un-American, how Un-Patriotic of you..
Where are your stars and stripes,
where is your Common Sense?”

I was also wondering where common sense was hiding!!!
