The legacy of terror still grows on,
Soiled darkly beyond Twin Towers tragedy,
Which some barely survived, to be forgotten,
Including those at Guantánamo Bay.
Falsely accused as al-Qaeda implants
Once shunted off to dismal foreign prison
On vaguest allegations, no defenses
Allowed, and minimal investigation,
20 years later some still not released
And those who were completely unrecovered
From years of torture, way beyond belief,
Their current means of livelihood now smothered:
Our history of injustice intact
May be exactly why we were attacked.
