9-11 a Cowards Attack

That fatefull day nine eleven,
a day that scattered our heavens.
All was at peace then came attacks,
from cowards behind our backs.
Both towers under the test,
from terrorists on their quest.
Fright had only just begun,
striving for the White house and Pentagon.
A man on the phone to his wife,
saying goodbye to her for life.
All on his plane made a block,
when someone shouted,"Let's Rock!"
Holding hands, jumping to fate,
knowing their escape was too late,
Firemen and Policemen hard as they tried,
only a few had survived.
Husbands, wives, sisters, brothers,
aunts and uncles, children smothered.
Our Country never the same,
the search is on for Saddam Houssein.
