Soaring Phoenix

—Aftermath, From Ground Zero— No one will able to destroy this great nation though Twin Towers collapsed to the ground in the heartless terrorists hands, and only ugly twisted steel beams and concrete debris piled high in the heart of world trade center. Only ashes on the ground smothering agonizing cries that tore the ordinary workday’s morning air into pieces. After struggle to stand in a dense smoke and a fierce blaze for a couple of hours, though two towering infernos collapsed in few seconds one after another and took thousands of innocent lives, were unable to take this nation’s noble ideals the spirit for the foundation of this great country. That is why our lady, Statue of Liberty, stands tall holding ever-burning torch high in air. That is why a flame brightens the heroes’ way to the world beyond in Arlington cemetery, burns forever. That is why a Phoenix arose from the gathered ashes at ground zero soars the sky, watching over this nation’s glorious colors, the Stars and Stripes, that flutter in the air proudly. O nation that consists from all human races on earth, yet everyone is treated equally. O nation of diversified cultures, yet every culture is regarded with same respect. O nation of great vision that stands with noble cause. O nation of individuality, yet united under one same nation’s colors. O land of opportunity, and therefore, everyone has hope. Why not, therefore, we proud Americans reassure our determination, that is, to uphold our nation’s flag to the end. Rebuild our dream on this ruin, that is, to prosper all together under one same nation’s flag. Reestablish our goal, that is, to keep world’s peace. March to the promised future hand in hand for the entire world, upholding our nation’s colors before us, bringing our good will to all mankind.
