9-11: Never Forgotten

My friend Justin and I want to dedicate this poem to everyone in America and those from other countries who have died, and also to those that lost their loved ones on this most atrocious day 11 years ago. ------------------------------------------- In the busy streets of New York City, Many a passerby made their way to work It was a typical work day—or so they thought It was an unexpected day when a great tragedy would strike Two of the city’s greatest towers would fall in humility And along with them many wonderful families Even others from different countries would lose a loved one In just a matter of minutes, all of what was that typical work day Became a nightmare—a terrorist’s delight Everything in chaos and confusion Cries all through the day and night Many called their loved ones if they survived that long Many panicked, but some were dead calm Knowing there was no way out They poured their hearts out on that last telephone call, their legacy born The attackers thought they broke us! But they failed—we didn’t break at all Instead they brought us closer as a nation And the people who lost their lives are with us always Never forgotten in our minds and in our hearts
