The Tragic Incident

It was a long time ago, yet we remember
We learned from it, yet we still have our shame
We remember the flames that destroyed our pride
We remember September 11, the day all fell
Twin Towers, Gone, Pentagon ruined
A plane crashed in Pennsylvania killing more
The terrible terrorist must have no heart
But we must not blame those who took no part
God please bless us, and prepare for next time
Azna! Omaha!  Please never let this happen again
And God bless the Men, Women, and Children of America
And Perish the evil that cannot be changed
