Sookdeo Manansingh Poet Blank verse

9/11 Twenty-five years later

Suddenly, the crashing sounds of broken glass
as all the doors closed with nowhere to pass
Time stood still as  so many innocent souls breath their last
the tragedy which happened unexpectedly so fast

with blood and fire mixing together on the ground
the city transformed into a great battleground
the hand of terror forced its way with a heavy sound
to hit a target for which it was mount to bound

So many left with unfinished dreams after the blow
to leave the world in darkness moving away the glow
no one had a clue even to use a whistle for anyone to know
that within a few seconds the towers will come below

Perhaps this would never had happened should one foresight
while everyone was so busy about their duty under the light
to commit themselves with intelligence to do everything right
unknowingly they got caught by evil in life  to lose the fight

The memory of that one day no one can erase from the mind
which continue to stain the hearts of those who escape death behind
The statue of liberty will forever mourn those patriots who are gone
as well as the earth with open arms sit and wait for hose unborn
