The Day the Towers Fell

A sad day for America

As rejoicing rang from hell,

Awakening a mighty giant
On the day the towers fell.

Our hearts were saddened

As we watched this vicious act unfold,

As innocence met a fiery death

And seeds of war were sowed.

Shouts rang out from the middle east

That Allah has done his good

But no god joys in faultless deaths

Through certain cowards could.

America just sort of glides along,

But don't step on her toes ...

For her belief in right and justice

Will stomp out freedom's foes.
