Hard to believe it was twenty three years ago that the twin towers fell. We need to not forget.
911 By Franklin Price 09/11/2024 Three and twenty years ago Terror rang its awful bell In the midst of New York City The great and tall twin towers fell Slammed by hijacked liners Deviated from their flight Took our independent nation From the day into the night Thousands died there on that day At the Pentagon we lost A field in Pennsylvania Also added to the cost There was no nation there to fight These were terrorists with dough Billionaires had funded them What to do, we did not know We went to war with countries Targeted Iraq, Iran To make it even better We fought in Afghanistan For over twenty years We sent our soldiers over there Many killed and wounded And our fighting more than fair Since we did not fight the country But the terrorists within We could not hurt the population To damage them would be a sin There was no way to win the war We finally pulled out everyone The terrorists took over Now its worse than when begun We are protectors of the world Have been since World War Two Give of ourselves to everyone We should try out something new Trillions of dollars is our debt From giving everything away We borrow bucks from China Who may own us one fine day Communism and democracy Capitalism one and all The ones who have the money Will cause the other ones to fall We've donated to our allies Just to keep them as a friend While our own go cold and hungry Which has come to no good end The USA's our country Home of the brave and free A promise land for citizens That's including you and me We welcome here most anyone Who contributes to our way Terrorists and criminals Cannot be added to the fray Our borders need protecting Not to let the bad ones here There's a qualifying process For rejecting when they're near We all need to pull together Or we'll lose this once great land Nine Eleven is still with us We must address it hand in hand
