9/11, 2001 " Page 2 of 2 "

Intelligence first, Retribution next
Clinical response the worlds text
Which free country is next in line
To be hit by this cowardly crime.
 
New York Cities patriots, suffer further pain
As Fire Officers and Police are slain
They indeed are part of this attack
So many of them never came back
Honourable dads, cousins and wife's
Mourn their lost ones, who lost their lives.
 
The World will remember
This September deathly sound
When iconic giants crashed to the ground
Hero's in the air, and on Manhattan Earth
Proved to us all, whats humans are worth.

In respect to the decent people who perished on that September day.

Hey there, thanks for all your comments, means a lot! I really loved this poem, it was really insightful and I learned a lot from it, as well as it fills with a sense of patriotism! I'm going to have to go through more of your writing!

Under GW Bush, we waited and attacked Iraq, a country not involved in 9-11. 14 of 16 were from Saudi Arabia but we were getting oil at a decent price so Washington turned their heads and looked the other way. We did not respond properly. We still have not responded properly. This was an excellent write. No religion should ever condone terrorism let alone call massacres and beheadings part of a "HOLY" war. Holy war is an oxymoron. Keep writing. Vince
