Then and Now

It was a day much like today… That the first stone was thrown Some presidents were shot to death Death came from the skies to the towers Bombs exploded taking lives of true innocents Guns were taken by the young to kill fellow students It was a day much like today… That a resolution came to various wars There were presidents that were inaugurated People traveling abroad made it to their destinations Babies laughed, while awaiting their parents, at daycare Students were safe and remain so while studying their courses It is a day like today… That we should be thankful For that which is good in the world Not forgetting the past, but using it to better The present and the next tomorrow for us and for all
