Momma's Pride and Joy/The Defamation of the Towers

Momma's twin Bundles of joy Did fate, Suddenly, come to destroy After decades of standing so Proud and Tall Were they coming down like th Berlin Wall When a Suicidal plane took to dropping from the sky Only to disrupt this Pillar structure which stood So high Causing an Earthquake of a shock, All across the Nation Upon uprooting and annihilating such a Solid foundation Having been built by Man, long ago, with Craft and skill Which HATRED, within minutes, had managed to kill A prevention on these "prized possessions" did it put, of further telling their Story Not to mention, how the Attack had crushed the Spirits of Old Glory The idea of her Babies having been defamated Although, In our souls and minds, will They FOREVER be Commemorated Just as the way they were before the Explosion and Cloud of Smoke When it seemed that their Invincible bond could Never be broke Yet, some foreign Object invaded and took away Our liberty By making "The Twins", a loss, as far as, Visibility Carrying out this so-called Signature hit on Nine Eleven That forced Many lives to be on the freeway of Heaven Leaving Us, in Rememberance, to be flying Old Glory, at half-mast So, that We can be forever mindful of What was done in the Past
