I Have Not Forgotten

11:36 5 Sept 2018

No I have not forgotten

I remember well that 911 day of hell
When demon filled men set their heart those buildings to fell

Driving to get my daughter and wife 
I heard of the first plane and I knew it was an attack on Americas life

My eyes welled up my heart beat fast
I have to get my family over and over in my mind as every car I passed

I held them close as I told them news
God help and protect us all as in the second and third flew

They were not martyrs as i slam says 
They were brain washed manics with death as their pledge 

The heros were those who ran towards death 
Not to help death but to defy it to its breath

Into hell they went to set free those they could
To save and serve as heros should 

At the end of it all some had lost their life
In order to give to those who could not fight

Now here we are seventeen years later
And people have forgotten and turned into agitators 

Trampling on the memories of those who gave and still give
Their lives to others to live

But not I! I have not forgotten I am still sane
I stand in testimony that those heros died not in vain
