From the heart of their country to a new world they did sail
Over an expanse of ocean through storms and gales
They settled in New Amsterdam, this Dutch colonial place
To create a new world in their progressional space
Many years later after conflicts took their toll
New York was born, under British control
The gate to this city is passed by a lady so proud
A gift from the French, freedoms torch raised to her clouds
The Big Apple, this city in the year 2001
Where infidels and cowards tried to bring this gem down
But deep from their depths from the loss of their Twin Towers
Feel its heart and strength, its unity powers
The Castros make Rubio rowdy
To them he'll never say howdy
Marco's so steady
So why he is ready
To kiss the kings who are Saudi?
Author's Note: Are Saudi Kings beloved by their people and so much better than Cuban dictators? Do Saudi royals not need body guards or a secret police force to maintain order? Do they travel among the people and never use private jets? Are the decisions made in Saudi Arabia completely democratic and open? Does the royal family limit its personal wealth out of a sense of fairness to its people? Do they treat women fairly? OMG--Could Raoul and Fidel be so much worse than our friendly ally? Never forget who crashed the planes into the twin towers. They weren't Cubans!
911

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 nation there to fight
These were terrorists with dough
Billionaires had funded them
What to do, we did not know
We went to war with countries
Targeted Iraq, Iran
To make it even better
We fought in Afghanistan
For over twenty years
We sent our soldiers over there
Many killed and wounded
And our fighting more than fair
Since we did not fight the country
But the terrorists within
We could not hurt the population
To damage them would be a sin
There was no way to win the war
We finally pulled out everyone
The terrorists took over
Now its worse than when begun
We are protectors of the world
Have been since World War Two
Give of ourselves to everyone
We should try out something new
Trillions of dollars is our debt
From giving everything away
We borrow bucks from China
Who may own us one fine day
Communism and democracy
Capitalism one and all
The ones who have the money
Will cause the other ones to fall
We've donated to our allies
Just to keep them as a friend
While our own go cold and hungry
Which has come to no good end
The USA's our country
Home of the brave and free
A promise land for citizens
That's including you and me
We welcome here most anyone
Who contributes to our way
Terrorists and criminals
Cannot be added to the fray
Our borders need protecting
Not to let the bad ones here
There's a qualifying process
For rejecting when they're near
We all need to pull together
Or we'll lose this once great land
Nine Eleven is still with us
We must address it hand in hand
Near the end of summer on a quiet morning
Terrorists attacked without warning
We watched in horror as the twin towers fell
What once was Mecca, now was Hell
How could it happen? In anger we cried
We watched as they listed the people who died
We clung to our loved ones as the fire raged on
The peace and security we once had was gone
When Japan attacked, we were lied to back then
Could it be we were lied to again?
The first time a foreign enemy attacked on our soil
Could it be we're in Iraq just for the oil?
The enemy attacked from out of the sky
The United States taught them how to fly
Was the response from our president only a show?
Did we allow it to happen? Did we already know?
They love us in Iraq. We're headed in the right direction
I guess they're shooting at us to show their affection
We are told insignificant is the loss of life
Can you tell that to a mother, a child, a wife?
A war on terror is an honorable war, a matter of global defense
A war for oil is an unjust war, it just doesn't make any sense
To justify the war, did we let people die? Did we turn and look away?
Did we already know and do nothing again as we approach judgement day?
I was not going to publish this until the 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist events that have changed the USA and its place in the World. I began and finished writing it this morning. You may not believe it, as I see it, but you should consider what you do believe and take action. To be complacent, and remain detached, is to soon change this country, the first ever, founded on personal freedom, to one with the hand of big brother controlling all we do. Think about it..... WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
Twenty Years of Terror
By Franklin Price
09/03/2021
On nine one one, back in oh one, the tall twin towers fell.
Downed by Mid Eastern terrorists who brought us living hell.
Using two hijacked airliners, full of passengers and all,
Downed the towers in Manhattan, flew into them, made them fall.
There were two other missions on that nine – eleven day.
As the towers crashed into the earth, they were both well on their way.
One slammed into the Pentagon, our major military site.
Also flown by terrorists in their suicidal flight.
Last one headed for the White House, that's what many people say.
Heroes stopped that mission, in a PA field that day.
The USA, surprise attacked, not by some country we could fight,
But by suicidal terrorists who would take us into night.
Twenty years of US darkness were then entered by those deeds.
Growing on the fields of history are many governmental weeds.
Osama Bin was Seal Team killed, was supposedly the man.
The end of it is not yet here, though we've left Afghanistan.
The terrorists have had their way, now the leaders of that land.
Striving for some recognition. Are we marching to their band?
We are not now, the who we were, when those tall twin towers fell.
We do our best, to beat ourselves, turning our Heaven into Hell.
Representatives in Washington don't give a damn about the rest.
They're directed by the super rich, don't pass the democratic test.
It's time that We the People bring ourselves into the light.
Join our hands and work together, or it will be, forever night.
In remembrance of 9/11/2001
A skyline, once two-headed,
a postcard promise.
I saved it,
that future view,
my feet on the ground,
neck craned back,
in the shadow of steel giants.
They took the dream first.
Not just the view,
not just the towers,
but the postcard, torn.
The future became a past I never lived.
I saw them fall,
and a part of me fell with them.
My anger, a hot fire,
against the smoke,
the dust that buried my dream.
The broke the glass of the window I was looking through,
shattered the symbol,
Left an empty space.
But the broken glass became a mirror.
And in it, I saw us,
not broken, but reflecting.
A million faces,
not shattered, but hardened.
Holding each other up,
in the place where the towers used to be.
The dream changed,
it became something new.
A different kind of strength,
forged in the space where the twin towers stood,
built not of steel, but of spirit.
We were not broken,
we were made stronger.
—Aftermath, From Ground Zero—
No one will able to destroy this great nation
though Twin Towers collapsed to the ground in the heartless terrorists hands,
and only ugly twisted steel beams and concrete debris piled high
in the heart of world trade center.
Only ashes on the ground
smothering agonizing cries
that tore the ordinary workday’s morning air into pieces.
After struggle to stand in a dense smoke
and a fierce blaze for a couple of hours,
though two towering infernos collapsed in few seconds
one after another and took thousands of innocent lives,
were unable to take this nation’s noble ideals
the spirit for the foundation of this great country.
That is why our lady, Statue of Liberty, stands tall
holding ever-burning torch high in air.
That is why a flame brightens the heroes’ way to the world beyond
in Arlington cemetery, burns forever.
That is why a Phoenix arose from the gathered ashes at ground zero
soars the sky, watching over this nation’s glorious colors,
the Stars and Stripes, that flutter in the air proudly.
O nation that consists from all human races on earth,
yet everyone is treated equally.
O nation of diversified cultures,
yet every culture is regarded with same respect.
O nation of great vision
that stands with noble cause.
O nation of individuality,
yet united under one same nation’s colors.
O land of opportunity, and therefore,
everyone has hope.
Why not, therefore, we proud Americans
reassure our determination,
that is, to uphold our nation’s flag to the end.
Rebuild our dream on this ruin,
that is, to prosper all together under one same nation’s flag.
Reestablish our goal,
that is, to keep world’s peace.
March to the promised future hand in hand for the entire world,
upholding our nation’s colors before us, bringing our good will to all mankind.
It was a majestic sight
To see in the distance
The New York City skyline
The twin towers standing bold
It was a sight to behold
Where else but in America
Can you see something
That leaves you in wonder
This has always been with me
Till that day of terror
It hurt my heart to know
My children will never see it
On September 11, 2001
I lost a part of my past
My present and it hurts
Because it is no longer there
I grieve more deeply
For those who lost
So much more than me
They lost a loved one
I will never forget
The scene on Television
Of the smoky towers
That once stood majestically
Nor will I ever forget
The people who died
On that horrific day
God bless their souls
Our heroes and our loved ones
Will always be remembered
Their loss will always
Be in my heart and my prayers
Written in remembrance on the 2nd anniversary of September 11th
On the 11th of September
A day we should all remember
That sad day the Twin Towers came falling down
Crashing to the ground
That fateful, infamous day
When Americans passed away
2,977 unfortunate souls
Went up to become God's Guardian Angels
And let's remember as well
Those who died from the toxins in the air from hell
Those Brave Police Officers, Firemen, EMTs and brave Citizens
To rescue people, went back in again and again
Now, God's Guardian Angels watch over us
As we do dangerous things and such
Things that must be done, understand?
To save people in danger, as many as we can
So, let's bow our heads and say a prayer
For our Heroes who die every day everywhere
Our Heroes who may not always get recognized
But are Brave Heroes none the less in our eyes
When you relax after your day is done
Please remember our Heroic Unlucky Ones
Who are sadly no longer here
To Them, raise a cup, drink a toast of wine, spirits or beer
Remember we must!
Cause when the debris is cleared and cleared the dust
The Terrible War Site is gone
But the Memories live on...

I can hear the cry of children in Etiopia
dying hungry ,every minute through the time
Whilst I'm at home eating pure beef
filling my glass with redwine
I can hear the cry of homeless,
which lay shivering in the streets
whilst I'm home,right by the fire-place
'neath my blanket,eating sweets.
I can hear the cry of people
Unemployment their new boss
While my work still holds security
Others'dignity is at loss
I Can hear September's cry
How many innocent to die
The Twin towers mark the day
For lost friends I kneel and pray
I can hear a soldier's cry
battling in a dirty war
Politicians state him hero,
whilst the blood still on the floor.
I can hear the cry in Iraq
as civilians get shot down
whilst I'm safe licking the sunshine
driving my car into town
I can hear the cry of Izrael
Palestines in the blue
as borders hold lone teardrops
Peace is a taboo
I can hear the cry of refugees
leaving loved ones and their land
facing rough seas,and wild waters,
Hope awaits a welcome hand
I am on our boat relaxing
when a thought fills up my mind
Hypocrite and burocratic
is this gaya of dark lies
Who am I,What can i do?
I'm a nobody,just a citizen like you.
I vote for unloyal politicians,
and give them power too.
Ahh!this cry I keep on hearing
of the poor and those at war
Politicians,this I beg you
No more sorrow,please!! NO MORE!! -CHARMA
