Symbol of Sept 11

O' September 11th... Seems like yesterday But with all intent Seems like such a long time away Remember! Everyone explained From now on everything will be changed It’s true—many things have changed But has everything really changed? Air travel has changed Hearts, minds of Americans have been changed Of that there is no doubt Or is 9-11 just one more scarecrow Of war and its sordid legacy, what's all about To stomp out our freedoms foes Ah' my generation grew up in the shadow Of a menacing mushroom shaped cloud ha·lo An ominous reminder of the destructive power fiasco Unleashed at the end of World War 2 Another generation is growing up today With another image The image of crumbling Twin Towers disarray The symbol of Sept. 11, 2001 visage!
