It Has Been Seventeen Years

It has been seventeen years 
Since that dreadful morning 
Thousands lost their lives unexpectedly 
Hearts are still grieving 
The events that took place on that day
Sadly presented turmoil and corruption 
The entire universe shook badly 
As we witnessed the confusion and frustration 
As planes crashed 
And buildings started to fall 
Everyone watched in horror 
As our backs were against the wall 
A sullen mood sadly appeared 
Many people cried lots of tears 
Such acrimony and melancholy still lingers 
After all of these years
