9-11

Sitting in school

Yet another day

September 11th

Is the date on my page

-

I get ready to do work

Like I always do

Then I hear the TV

Turned to the news

-

What’s going on?

To myself I inquire

The nation’s in chaos

And what’s with that fire?

-

Below all the smoke

And the great flames ablaze

I make out two shapes

And I am amazed

-

That is impossible

How can it be?

Can it be the Twin Towers

That I now see?

-

I keep listening

To the news broadcast

And find that Bin Laden

Has just attacked

-

Two other planes

Had also been crashed

One fell in Pennsylvania

And the Pentagon was trashed

-

The FDNY

Fought with all they could give

They worked non-stopped

To save all those who lived

-

The NYPD

Also worked without quitting

To keep up with those missing

And those found- dead and living

-

Our President Bush

Sent troops to fight back

They tracked down Bin Laden

And then they attacked

-

To this day

We still don’t know

If the remains troops found

Were Bin Laden’s own

-

We continue to fight

To rid these lands

Of the awful terrorists

And their horrid demands

-

We will not stop

Until we have seen

The end of the Taliban

And all its regimes

-

The men who took

Many innocent lives

Brought upon themselves

Their own demise

-

We honor the men and women

Who died and still fight

For our Red, White, and Blue

So that all may be right

-

For all those who died

So that we might live-

“On this anniversary,

our respect we now give.”
