The Falling of the Innocent
Two planes strike
Towers rammed
What was to follow
Will leave them damned
A cowardly cause
No faith can claim
The horrors that day
Claimed lives and maim
Before the collapse
The whole world in view
Out of the few thousand
These were the few
Rather than stay
Not knowing their fate
Their decision to leap
Than in terror wait
The falling of the innocent
On this September day
As all around the world
For these people we prayed
< My tribute to the fallen ones on that September Day >
