911 We Will Never Forget

To *key3 How bad can it get, don't ask me that question I'm on the 97th floor terrified, hanging from a window, gasping for breath You want to know, if I put faith to the test On the phone to my wife, saying I love you please never forget Bodies burst in the street below me, certain I am next you still want to know, if I put faith to the test My throat has just been cut, on some passenger jet Leading my ladder up a stairwell to die, drenched in sweat You’re repeating that question, if I put faith to the test Searching through rubble, unsure if there's a fingertip left Vaporised into nothing, just a photo for the bereft Disturbing nightmares wake me, shaking and upset, stop asking me, if I put faith to the test I go to Afghanistan, an IED rips open my chest About to be beheaded in Iraq, as a warning to the west Back on the 97th floor you ask me again, if I put faith to the test Do I agree with Guantánamo extraordinary rendition, you bet How about collateral damage, they posed no threat Whatever it takes, this fate I'll never accept I'm a civilian too, now I jump burning to death This poem is to remember, the 2,977 murdered innocents of 911 one Helios Bastard has already forgotten and questions if their faith was put to the test A room awaits the cowardly rotten pig beside his pal Richard Reid in Florence ADX They wear the same shoes The (Tools) of their trade!

Nor do I ever want to forget, and for those that back and have faith in these terrorist bastards should never forget what lies in store for them, and it’s not 72 virgins in heaven, cheers David

You write from the mouths of the victims, the terror they endured by the cowards who live on. These users here and their mocking poetry, I agree with you David, stop 'em in their tracks! "Do I agree with Guantánamo extraordinary rendition, you bet" ... I bagsy that!

Thank you for bagsying that one Anaya, if we’ve to learn anything from 911, it’s to stop these cowards in their tracks, the one on the soup hides behind a form of satire, to get his misanthropic messages across, and should be faced down by us remorselessly, cheers David

Only heartless people can mock at human misery ! More than the dead, I feel for the survivors with mutilated limbs and minds plagued with fear. .... also with maddening thoughts of their dear ones departed ! In the name of faith, people are driven to madness ! I can never understand which faith advoctes to mutilate and do away with fellow men. David, you have given a highly moving picture of the horrendous tragedy !

Thank you Valsa, unfortunately this is the messed up world we live in, but these crazies must be faced down at the earliest opportunity, I believe in freedom of speech, but this allusive mocking of the 911 dead in pursuit of personal gratification goes beyond the remit, cheers David

wow. CRAZY. Anyway,, as a conspiracy theorist, I have an idea that would really complicate things, but yeah, the poor souls that had to jump from the buildings, God bless their souls.

Heya Andrea a certain character amongst us has been writing a lot of satirical poems, ok no problem, but one in particular making allusions that the ones in the cockpit, had more faith, than the ones who jumped from high rise buildings,

Unbelievable horrors inflicted on the innocent by a bunch of crazed physchopath s who had a twisted ideology. For someone to make light of it is unbelievable. Well written David May all those innocents who perished rest in peace. Tom

May they indeed be let rest in peace Tom, for there never will be peace so long as the misanthrope coward goes around questioning their faith, now he’s took down all my protestations and shut off commenting, some (document of truth) eh! Cheers David
