9/11

9/11...one of the, if not the worst, event in american history. This poem reflects it...

Look back
Before 9/11
What was the world like?

Now think about that day
America was shot with gun
War rang out
People say to stop
But can we?

Flight 93, you fought back
Now it’s our turn
Flight 11, you hit first, the north tower
Then came flight 175, that’s when it hit
It was no accident

Flight 77, our pentagon
Then they collapsed

Flight 93 fought back in the face of death
Now it’s out turn
This war is not anything but
To make safe
It dose not happen again

America, we fight
To honor
The blood shed
United we must stay
Fall apart and we cannot win
----------------------------------
The sun sets on the day
When America was blown away
The country we loved was attacked
On that cold September day

When the first plain hit it was just an accident
Then the second plain hit, it was no accident
Then word of another
Heading to the white house
On that cold September day

People we loved
Killed at work
People we loved
Killed going to a vacation
Gone forever
On that cold September day

Shocked
The people
That loved
That lost
That died
On that cold September day

The world
Would change
In a new way
A revolution started
On that cold September day
---------------------------
Do you remember?

When the news came in

America was under attack

Did you stand up and shout out

Or did you just watch as the towers fell?

To the terrorist they thought it was a victory

But a loss for them it was

As they did not know

That America

Will stand United

Forever

We stand United

Under the flag

Of the Red, White, and Blue

The Heroes of that day

And the people

Doing what they do

To keep food on the table

Or the people

Who were going away?

Our friends

Our family

Our fellow Americans

Who would never be seen again

But from the smoke

Rises new love

And from the smoke

Comes new faith

And from the smoke

Comes freedom

And life

For a new battle

Would rage

To get the people who did this

So we must not forget what we are fighting for

We must stand as one nation

United
