American Threat

" American Threat "

Due to a delay
I missed my plane
and had to book another flight
It was a good thing
I get to be with my family
for another night.

My wife was nervous
saying she felt
some kind of strange fright
I gave her a kiss
a heart felt hug
and told her everything will be alright.

Early the next morning
I boarded my plane
on flight “93”
I sat in my seat
as something strange
suddenly came over me.

I could not pin point
why I was feeling
this strange way
suddenly I heard
a foreign voice
saying you’re all dying today.

Three evil men
from Iraq
took over this jet
one of them said
this is for real
we are the American Threat.

They stabbed the stewardess
and then the pilot
then they left them to die
the only hope left
was that of Jeremy
and three other big guy’s.

The plane was flying
so high above
a Pennsylvania field
Flight “93”
carried 35 passengers
with death being its yield.

Jeremy talked with Lyz
over the phone
as she heard a terrible noise
poor little Emmy
will only remember her dad
by her father’s soft voice.

It was on 9-11
Jeremy and the three other guy’s
all became American hero’s
Their fateful destiny
was to be on flight “93”
as Lyz now really knows.

They over powered them
the evel terrorist
but they lost the jet
for Lyz and Emmy
they eliminated
this ugly American Threat...

Sad, so sad...to think these terrorist were trained right here in our own country. We need to be reminded of this awful tragedy more often, maybe we will be more alert, and report strange behavior....Always, Christy
