Twin Towers Fell By Franklin Price 9/11/2018 Twin towers fell, a living hell The day was apropos Was a nine-one-one emergency Setting the future we now know The years, now seventeen, have passed From that day, two-thousand-one We've yet to see the ending Of what that terror had begun Although the action felt like war No country was to blame Terrorists had felled those towers Our lives would never be the same Our country since, has been at war Fighting factions full of hate That has permeated all of us And our actions since that date We're battle hardened, all of us Our politics, now, make that clear We've taken sides with attitude Our enemy, is us, we're here We soon must come together Let fallen towers be our call If we continue on as we are now Like those towers, we will fall If you've read this and believe it, please pass it on, in any manner you have available. We not only need to fight terrorism, we need to make peace with ourselves.

Thank you so much for visiting, reading and appreciating. I just hope those who can will turn this idiotic present day around. We can help by putting the right people in decision making places; by voting
