The Day the World Died

I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS YOUNG,I WAS FEARLESS,NOTHING SHOOK ME!I'D TAKE LONG WALKS AT 2 A.M ON 116ST IN HARLEM.THE AIR WAS MUSTY,THE SKY WAS BLACK,BANGERS ON THE CORNER SLANGING THEIR CRACK. THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY IS THAT NO ONE CARES,EVERYONES IN THEIR ZONE POLITICING IN THEIR IDEAS. NEW YORK TO THE HEART,WE HAD LOVE FOR ALL,UNTIL THE DAY THE SKY WOULD FALL. LIVING HELL ABOVE GROUND,ONLY SOUND YOU HEAR IS NONE. PEOPLE FORCED TO FACE THEIR FATE,SOME JUMPING TO THEIR DEATH,OTHERS TOO LATE! PEOPLE HATE OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE WE ARE FREE,BUT SNEAK ACROSS THE BOARDER TO LIVE LIKE YOU AND ME. PRIDE BECOMES PREJUDICE,IGNORANCE BECOMES SHAME,IN A SPLIT SECOND THE ENEMY CHANGED THE GAME. WATER POLLUTED,DESTRUCTION ON GROUND ZERO,EVERY CITIZEN FROM NEAR AND FAR BECAME A TRUE HERO. HEARTS TORN OUT,RAGE BURNS INSIDE,HOW DO WE FORGIVE THAT REMAINS TO DECIDE. OUR AMERICAN FLAG FLIES HIGH.AS OUR ANGELS SORE IN THE SKY,TOGETHER WE ARE UNITED,NEVER WILL WE FALL!!!!
