9 11 New York
I remember my friend Clifford
Saying if I heard bout the plane
That had hit the trade center
Then I feel a chill run thru my vein
We all went outside to see
There was smoke from the building
Then the next plane comes again
And struck as we stand there looking
We were right in the edge
Of the famous Hudson River
Where all the ships would receive
Then leave with their cargo to deliver
I said hope every one is okay
And make it out alive
But I was so very wrong
Because so many did not survive
And from that moment on
The world change for the worst
Wars and terrorism will forever
Spread through out the universe
So many innocent people died
Children, Husbands and wives
Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Jews
So many people losing their lives
And I remember being a Muslim
You start to live with a fear
Because there were random attacks
On Muslims and Indians every where
But it was just the acts some fools
Just like the fanatics on the planes
Because of the hatred in their hearts
The innocents will bear the pains
Some people will use a situation
To spread the hate that they feel
And some will use their understandings
To look at the facts the are real
9-11 will always be in my mind
It was the worst day of my life
And every year on the date
Will cut my heart like a knife
We all are made of flesh and blood
Regardless the color of our skin
And if we all try to live together
Then peace and love will win
I believe in and respect all religions
Although it was made by man
God just wants us to lover each other
It’s the biggest part of his plan
To the families who lost love ones
I can’t find the words to say
But on this date for ever
Together we all will pray
