9/11 Attacks

9/11 Attacks

The day began like any other

the sun rose, scattering to work

settling into their day, with a smirk

8.46am thousands of lives would change

North Twin Tower was hit by a plane

people thought, NO,that's insane

News came to those, yes it was true

some knew and others didn't have a clue

Terror attacks was announced

disbelief from civilians on the ground

9.03am,no, not again

The South Tower was hit, oh Amen

survivors running for their lives

passing the dead,that, they did dread

Parts of bodies everywhere

we had no time, to stop to care

We had to get out, as fast as we could

everyone knew, that was understood.

People jumping from the towers

things happened in minutes

which seemed like hours

Flights hijacked,93, 77 and 175

all the passengers, tried their best

to stay alive

life that day, was out of control

when the building were demolished

it left a great big hole

90 countries, lost loved ones

firefighters, military, police

are many of the rescue workers

that now rest in peace

estimated up to 19,000

in the towers upon attack so hard to believe

this maybe fact

years later, people still dying

to the families related

this is terrifying

Exposed toxins from ground zero

pregnancy losses, cancers

no one can find answers

a memorial was made

for all to see

a reminder of life

no one would disagree

pay your respects, for those we lost

and say a prayer

for no extra cost

this moment in history

the world will remember

let's come together

united we stand

hand in hand

let's show the world we can withstand
