Nyc September Eleventh

It was a day that started out just like any other one We never dreamed America could come under attack It seemed an enemy had slipped through a crack Who knew they would come from behind our back They sucker punched us, this was a fact A day Americans thought could never come No one thought for a second America could ever come undone For we all thought America was the mightiest one We never stopped to think it could actually be done Two of our own planes came crashing down It certainly was a horrrendous sound People running for their lives all around No where to run, No where to hide Into the twin towers they did collide Taking with them some of America's pride Thousands of people still trapped inside Not even having a safe place to hide Hundreds of firefighters and volunteers rushed inside To them it wasn't a matter of pride Only did they think of the people still inside America now was in a shear panic This was much worse than the sinking of the Titanic We watched the towers as they fell We knew that all inside were going through a living hell For as of yet no one could tell, Wether or not any would make it out alive and well Leaveing all of America to wonder why So many people that day had to die The day those planes came down form out of the sky Our only unanswered questions, Who and Why? Not a single rock in the rubble was left unturned Not a single thing left unburned For all our lost loved ones America still yearned For this was a lesson that must be learned Our hearts go out to each and everyone We all knew now what must be done We knew the job wasn't going to be an easy one Osama Bin Laden must now pay for what he has done! We must fight the enemy one by one We must join together now,,,,,,,Everyone We all knew our government had glitches, but we never thought it would leave America with so many stitches As for time, we know we can't turn back We know now is the time for our government to act For we know now to always watch our back We must be ready, if there is ever another attack For all the lost souls on 9/11 We pray each one of you made your way to heaven As for all Americans we must stand together Face our enemy even in the stormiest weather We must stand together as one Fight the enemy until it is completely done Then and only then, will America have truly won
