Nine Nine-A Peaceful Poetic Starting Point

Nine nine A story I needed to find My credentials were declined But it was Sunday, I did not mind Honestly, I tried Decided, ‘take a ride’ Into the Big Apple City Matinee performers dancers presumed pretty Feeling no pity Went uptown Sporting not a frown Unknowing something soon planned to go down In less than seventy-two hours Strangers will flex angry power Turning the workday sour Former firefighter house Turned into a cheese for the mouse Soap Opera investment Is where I went But Blondies ended up packed and full And of course, I had no pull Headed closer to the research higher education school Being not a fool Academic observation skill used as a tool Found a dining place Where television had a table space Playing Raiders and Chiefs Kansas City cheer outfits provided tension relief You see I must confess The Jets were a total mess Nine one one Attack did come Made a triangle Airlines ended up entangled Hijacked and wrangled Financial skyscraper collapsed One Pentagon side blew taps NYC mass transit panic did not occur Major fallout it would have spurred Instead, Not many dead Media outlets were not fed Astronomical numbers counted in first responders' head Maturing Pennsylvania teens Endured a morning nightmare dream When the majorettes let out a scream ‘Get the social destructive fiend’ From the physical force Which we superpowers thought was the worst After effects may shake Foundations and years decades it may take Health care Should be prepared Ready and take down any invisible terroristic disease scare Americans did some yelling And there was no selling We are going to war Violently slapped on our own shore Agreed unanimously on the two party and Independent political floor Life went on We Presidentially elected the affluent New Yorker Don Along with the nickeling dime VP Pence Who made Lincoln cents Added the legal sidekick Rudy the Mayor for some rhetoric schtick Pound for pound it was a right pick Today we argue and debate Showing democracy traits As ever so great Maybe it is time to get things straight Clearly define who is behind the nasty hate Then we can truthfully state Our enemy took the bait Sealing their eternal fate
