They Died For America!

Two airplanes slammed hard
into the Twin Towers in Manhattan,
and one into the Pentagon;
but the fourth one didn't reach its target,
because the passengers fought...
bringing it quickly down!

They died for America,
fighting with courage
the ruthless enemy;
and they rebelled in rage
to preserve liberty
with their heroism
and true patriotism...
they died for America!

Call them heroes with the kindest hearts,
call them the warriors of our days;
to me they are the freedom fighters,
who couldn't be taken by fear
and inhumane brutality!
They were far braver
than we thought they would be...
and we should glorify their deeds!

They died for America,
for the country they truly loved,
to give some back for her generosity...
not being afraid of dying in vain;
they died for America,
only imagining the joy,not the pain,
that their rebellion would have caused...
without doubts or uncertainty!

They died for America,
for all dreaming of a free life...
leaving the fears far beyond;
they died for America,
for the unborn in their mothers' womb,
so that they could see the flowers bloom!
We still wonder how they did all this...
by trusting in their friend,God!
