Anthony Blake Poet Free verse

9/11 FAST TRACK

It was a clear beautiful sunny day
Not a cloud in the sky
I was at work in midtown
2001 was the year
It was terrorist near
Uncertainty on every turn
Lessons to learn
Passenger planes being attacking bombers
No suspected as it was like a thrilling action movie
This was real and no act
Downtown NYC was like a war zone
Who would have expected known?
Devastation that took place
Ashes and smoke aftermath waste
Multitudes of people that were running for their lives
It looked like the end of the world
Many died while others survived
The thought of it could have been me
My name could have been on the memorial for all to see
The World Trade Centers stumbled down
It’s an impact me because I was supposed to work on the 96th Floor of Tower One
The company never called because they felt I was overqualified
It was a reject but a blessing that stands out
Again, a blessing for sure and can’t ignore
Heaven gave me extra time to live
Heaven’s grace watched over me
Thankful and uplifted
Never forgot and never will.
