We need to get back on track in a very serious way and do what needs to be done. We need to make it so it's never attractive to be a terrorist.
We Watched the Ceremony 15th Anniversary of 9/11 By Franklin Price 9/11/2016 We watched the ceremony The reading of each name Each killed by acts of terror We will never be the same Each thought that they would be alive To join family and friends When that dreadful day was over Did not expect to meet their ends The day was bright and sunny Planes came from clear blue sky To crash into the towers To make the thousands die Most did did not die in combat As did the firemen and law Heroes rushing to their duty To aid the needy that they saw There was no rhyme or reason Only terror to display To disrupt our once great country And we the people on that day They were quite successful Made us angry one and all Awoke the giant from sleeping Who with resources came to call Was intelligence foolhardy Misdirected by Iraq Should not have ever gone there But we can never take that back Lost sight of the terrorists Who put the towers to the ground Need to wipe the earth of them So none are left around Should be no quarter given Should destroy them one and all Only then can there be closure For those dying in the fall
