Mistaken Identity

Some crooks are dumb as they come,
these thieves should get what they deserve
as they won't go so very far
now they're done taking a ride
in the stolen Police car...
with, 'To Protect & Serve
Dial 911,' printed on the side.

When the judge asked them, 'Why?'
and stressed, 'It's best if you confessed.'
The wiseguys both admitted,
while facing five to seven,

911
By Franklin Price
09/11/2024

Three and twenty years ago
Terror rang its awful bell
In the midst of New York City
The great and tall twin towers fell

Slammed by hijacked liners
Deviated from their flight
Took our independent nation
From the day into the night

Thousands died there on that day
At the Pentagon we lost
A field in Pennsylvania
Also added to the cost

There was no

911

My trainer said just one more

Now I'm stretched out on the floor

Helpless here flat on my back

Waiting for that heart attack

Someone dial 911

Now the end has just begun

I'm feeling weak as a pup

I don't think I'm getting up

Another Sad and Somber Anniversary of 911

I remember the day when the terrorists shocked
Our world. I remember that sad and dreadful day.
Two planes crashed like missiles 
Into the Twin Towers in NYC; one hijacked
Plane hit the Pentagon, while another landed
In Pennsylvania and exploded: all aboard died, 
Including the hijackers, the criminal imbeciles.
Thousands innocent people lost their lives.
I vividly remember that infamous

We Can Never Forget 911

We can never forget 9/11
We will forever remember such a date
A date that will live in infamy
A date that has everything in it:
Sadness, fire, death, destruction and bravery
Heroism, sickness and resilience, except happiness
9/11/2001 is a memorable and a daring date
That changed the world. Things are not seen like
The day before. We have a different perspective
About

My Neighbor Calls 911

I have a neighbor who ties up 911
Complaining that a dog is barking 

A person who is in dire need might not be able to get through
He might not be able to connect while they are still conscious
We have tried to explain this to her

But she is selfish, and does not put others first
Pete’s garbage

911 We Will Never Forget

To *key3 

How bad can it get, don't ask me that question 
I'm on the 97th floor terrified, 
hanging from a window, gasping for breath
You want to know, 
if I put faith to the test 

On the phone to my wife, saying I love you please never forget 
Bodies burst in the street below me,

911 the Falling Man Cometh

The falling man, one photograph captured in time
       An unforgettable image, imprinted on this mind
        He represents us all, weather we like it or not
         His faith did not kill him, destiny was his

Many Heroes Stepped Up On 911

The heroes ran in as others were booking out.
Those of us who are not selfless do not understand.
We watch in disbelief.
Who would run in there?

The building seemed to implode.
It was like there was a bomb placed in the middle.
Not like it had only been hit by a plane.
People jumped to their deaths. Did they die

We Can Never Forget 911

911 Recall

My commute was about half an hour, and I was due at work at 9am.
Normally, most of my news came when I was driving, which was what
I did for a living at the time. I departed for work, and as usual, immediately turned on an all-news radio station. I started hearing reports of plane crashes

Remembering 911

It’s been 21 years since that unimaginable morning on the 11th of September…
and each year, on this date, we take a moment to remember.

Family members remember loved ones lost…permanently taken from their view…
The rest of us remember people we never knew.

Memories of their joy and laughter deliver some relief…
bringing with them a little comfort as

911 Hendiadys

Our mouths agape,
we stand at maw and gape.
At once both strange and odd,
a lone spire aspires to replace
a solitary figure of twins,
reborn from dust and ash
on high, a rise and phoenix,
both monument and towering
testament of will,
lost souls in sole remembrance.
