We must never forget and we must rid ourselves of such people who do these things.

Tomorrow We Remember By Franklin Price 9/10/2016 Tomorrow we remember With solemn thoughts recall The horror of that morning We would watch the towers fall Standing high and mighty They were the tallest of the tall Would be standing there forever We would watch the towers fall Was a beautiful blue morning Would be ruined by the gall Of an unspeakable act of terror We would watch the towers fall One plane into each tower flew Each with hellish fire ball Exploding there on impact We would watch the towers fall In just the blinking of an eye Manhattan covered by a pall Thousands dead or would be dying We would watch the towers fall Into the mayhem heroes came Responding to the call To rescue anyone they could We would watch the towers fall As we witnessed on TV Minds reeling with appall Felt the need for retribution As we watched the towers fall Fifteen years have come and gone Tomorrow painful for us all Remembering just where we were When we watched the towers fall

It was, and still is, painful. It will not be over until we rid ourselves of cowardly terrorists. Thanks for visiting and please come again

Appal is a good word (or appall as you Americans would have it) but I'm not sure it is best suited to your placement. How about something simpler, like this for instance. As we witnessed on TV Minds reeling from it all Felt need for retribution As we watched the towers fall

Keith, I really appreciate your input and thought very seriously about changing the poem as you suggested. Then I looked up appall, as I had when I first decided to use it. Appall: to cause (someone) to feel fear, shock disgust. I decided to leave appall because it more reflects the mixed feelings which were felt. Don't stop suggesting and commenting. Your comments are very much appreciated
