The free country
Remember the day
Where there were no delays
Oh shall i say the delays
Are because of the disgrace
What we call teenagers of the day
They are being bashed by standards high enough like the twin towers
Twin tower that fell
Violence that arose
guns with no laws
Teens

Twin Towers
Like into a deep mysterious well
the heat unbearable they disappear like dropping stones
once loved and so familiar their faces
going to where what is gone is gone
no time granted to ask why
leaping into the blue sky a death
such dreams and plans they had for tomorrow
everything must now be but as dust
Dedicated to people forced to jump

911 Carousel
911 Carousel
by Michael R. Burch
“And what rough beast ... slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?”—W. B. Yeats
They laugh and do not comprehend, nor ask
which way the wind is blowing, no, nor why
the reeling azure fixture of the sky
grows pale with ash, and whispers “Holocaust.”
They think to seize the ring, life’s tinfoil prize,
and, breathless with endeavor,

Sacrifice 9-11
On ground where once bright giants rose
A spirit wanders still
Through frailty of trust exposed
To dark wind’s bitter chill
The life that moved within this place
Is hurt, beyond repair
Yet we recall each voice, each face
In intimate despair
This price we pay! These dues we owe!
For freedom has a cost
Life reaps the bitter crop it sows
Yet gains more than

Twin Towers Fell
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

The Twin Towers Disaster Or a True Friend Part 2
Touching my hand was a wet doggy.
Whatever my fate was going to be,
My dog, my hero would be with me,
If he was in terror it did not show,
I was the weak one that I know.
With agile body and eyes that could see
He swiftly, surely guided me,
Masonry was flying through the air,
Debris was scattered everywhere.
Down those

Twin Towers
God, not much is left for us to see
Terrorists came to destroy humanity;
Was so much suffering and also harm
As we cried out to You with great alarm.
Twelve years doesn't seem so long ago;
What happened had been a horrible blow;
Twin Towers with planes just did collide;
In heaven with You, newcomers abide.
Firefighters tried to save lives but

Twin Towers: September 11, 2001
Monotonous keyboards clicking
Redundant clocks ticking
Phones ringing, elevator doors swinging
Coffee pots brewing, vending machines spewing
Insouciant workers, carefree shirkers loitering
Clerks, secretaries previewing, managers reviewing
Visitors on stairs, in lobby chairs, lines queuing
Fate's dissonant chords o'er content hordes teeming
From Crescent's waning moon, spell of doom flinging
Across availing sky, a wailing strain is stringing
A portentous raven o'er torrentous swells winging
To

Twin Towers
Not as easy as
being a passenger
post 9/11.
And my own towers
fallen now
because of
unanticipated
consequences.
Without flavor
and excitement
I fear boredom
Which was my
doom and I
try to un-glue
these poisoned
piece.

TWIN TOWERS
IT HAPPENED ONE DAY
IN THE LIGHT OF SEPTEMBER
THIS IS HOW IT WAS MADE
A FEW MEN GOT IN A PLANE
AND SAID A PRAYER
AS THEY FLEW UP IN THE AIR
THEY GOT UP TO TAKE CONTROL
THEY WERE ON A ROLL
WE WERE FIGHTING FOR OUR LIFE
THE PLANE WAS TURN AND HITTED
RIGHT TO THE TWIN TOWERS
WITH ALL IT’S

Twin Towers
Twin towers
I feel their pain
They know my name
I've taken a swan dive
Off the conservatory
A hundered times
But, I never die
The Towers are my only friends
And I love them
And when the towers crumbled
To the ground
Tears fell
But, I remained
Because they are my identity
To which I must be true
There's lonely
They need me
I know their pain
I know their pain
They're me

Twin Towers
T wo buildings once stood tall
W hen one day they would fall.

W hat happened no one knew
E xtreme anger just grew.

S o keep your families near.

911 the Twin Towers Fall
The day before the
Twin towers died,
The skyscrapers cry
For love and mercy
People jumping
Through broken
Glass windows,
Falling down
Unto a sea of death
Who will listen
To their call
As hostage
Passenger jets
Crashed into
These steel walls
Making the
Twin towers
Tumble and fall
We could not
Put them back
Together, again
Evil exist
In this world
Still, we have faith
God shall
Deliver us from
All evil
On this earth
I know
God
