Today Marks 22 Years
Written: By Tom Wright

People, some jumping to their death as if to fly,
helpless to escape, a cherry red inferno, in the sky.
Black billowing smoke, now hangs horizontal as a flag,
while misguided terrorist, in the name of Allah, brag.

Amid concrete and scrunched steel piled high,
black columnar smoke billows upward to the

Burglar-exploits of Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin-Laden 
Saintly-looking, yet, by Satanic powers crime-ridden 
Terror-tied, adventured into frightening the nations
From Los Angels ignited their hellion-operations
triumphed razing the tip of the World Trade Center 
Could they, yet, into the united household, forever enter...?

on September 11, 2001 as the World Trade Buildings fell
                    a precious baby girl was born to our family
I was struck at the time about birth and death

Premium MemberCommunist Red China Is Taking Over Latin American Countries

According to CBN news Red China is sponsoring local Latin American Marxist Communist dictators in that region. Their local domestic Communist leaders resemble our Bernie Sanders. How are they taking over countries? 

The same method the Liberal Progressive left-wing radicals are doing in the USA and elsewhere! Promising their citizens, "with lots of free stuff.

Premium MemberTwenty Years- September 11, 2021


Today commemorates that awful day- 
termed nine-eleven, twenty years ago,
when we, in shock, stood helpless in dismay
of what our eyes observed- that terror show;
planes downing our Twin Towers in that way.

So hard to comprehend those loved ones gone, 
observing there or from our TV sets,
and praying that firefighters could bear on
to help, but later learned

Surviving September 11, 2001

The glorious sun rose that day,
But darkness was soon to follow.
Carnage was not far away,
As screams pierced the flaming sky
Buildings fell like stones
So many lives taken
On the wings of evil.

SEPTEMBER 2001, 9/11 New York

(Dedication: To Those Souls Who 
Left Us So Abruptly That Day. RIP.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



In crisp refrain:
Feel so much pain,
Loss felt again,
Tears in sure strains.


Fate hits the face:
In that sad place,
A tragic space,
Anchors odd grace.


The world awoke:
Watched terror yoke,
Huge fatal strokes,
In dying poke.


Yes mind still sees:
Madness set free,
Harsh tragedy,
News on TV.


Hijack of jets:
Terror did

It was a day like any other.
We didn't have a clue,
that before the morning ended, 
life as we knew it would be through.

Terrorists hijacked airplanes,
and turned them into bombs;
crashing them full throttle,
into twin towers with aplomb.

Mesmerized, horrified we watched,
the sickening, fiery foray.
Then one by one the towers fell -
we shuddered in shocked dismay.

Thousands of lives

September 11

Yesterday she was just like any other little girl
Passing notes, soccer camp, the borders of her world
Protectors there with easy smiles 
Mommy's scent, Daddy's hand
Unspoken courage for each new mile. 

Where does she find that courage now
As her world collapses and she asks how?
"Who will pick me up, take me home?"
Who will hold her close,

My heart is in one world, yours is in another,
yet truth says that you are my brother.
We were both born perfect children of God,
but you were wrapped in hate and told that was your job.
I was given freedom, love and the right to dream.
You were fed ignorance, evil and encouraged to scheme.

I cannot hate you,

Remembrance of a tragedy 
touches the souls of all of us 
Death came to innocents as terror 
from the skies struck 
Remembrance of a tragedy 
today 
The names of the fallen 
resound on the media 
Thirteen years ago we saw the face of death in these states
A heinous scene was perpetrated on our soil 
Suicide

A Six Year Old's September 11

Daddy, there’s a hole in the big blue sky
Daddy, there’s a hole can you tell me why
Daddy, where are those  buildings that made up eleven
Will all those people go to heaven?

Daddy why does mommy hide her eyes
When she talks on phone about last goodbyes
She says everything is gonna be okay
but she won’t let us

September 11th 2001

The world was in a down pour, raining, 
down, in clouds of dust, came the tall. 
A compassionate world, is still remaining
steadfast and strong, - for them all, 
all those who kept refraining,
all those who took the fall, 
and in their flight, in the trap, answered the call.

September 11

In remembrance of the victims and their families of 9/11.

Morning of sorrow
Morning of grief
When so many people
Have died
Shoulder to shoulder
They walked on the street
To help the people
Those who survived
So many heroes
So many dead
Many are left in fear
We will remember
Never forget
Let's hope the justice
Is near
