It Has Been Sixteen Years

It has been sixteen years 
Since that dark day 
Our nation was under attack 
Total chaos in every way 
Three thousand people sadly perished 
Nothing but pure frustration 
Along with sullen moments 
And mass confusion 
Uncertainty surrounded us 
As buildings fell down 
Corruption reared its ugly head 
Nothing but cacophonous sounds 
Some people fought courageously 
But sadly, still lost their lives 
Grief, pain, sorrow, and anguish 
Appeared right before our very eyes
