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
