Do not ever forget the terror of 9/11/01

 

Eighteen Years Ago Tomorrow
By Franklin Price
9/10/2019

Eighteen years ago tomorrow
The great twin towers fell
Airliners crashed into them
Made many lives a living hell

Another flew to Washington
Where the Pentagon was hit
A third was crashed in PA
Missed the White House quite a bit

Flown by men of terror
Not a country we could war
We still are bringing justice
Can never equal up the score

We'll never feel the same again
Not as safe as we before
Must fight the Terror everwhere
In every place that there is more

Everywhere around the world
Even hidden in our lands
All of us are part of this
Must stop it where it stands

Do not forget what happened then
That took us to the night
I hope,like me, you never will
As we struggle for the light
