9/11 Tribute

• Artist: Shanra the Dragon Bard
• Description: I still remember that day as if it were only yesterday. We were living in Baltimore, Maryland. Halfway between NYC and Wash DC. There were people I worked with who had friends and family working in the towers and some of the children my daughter went to school with had parents who worked at the Pentagon. This is my tribute to the ones who died that horrible day.

The tower stood tall on that September day
Busy with people who worked for their pay

Children nearby playing jump rope and such
The loser of the game, not liking it much

From out of the sky, so blue and calm
Flew the planes to the towers, just like a bomb

Not many survived that day of disaster
Many went on to the great hereafter.

You are a very angry young person MCjack. And I must say you don't sound very patriotic. I for one think what happened was a travesty and will never for one minute forget those who died. Not just the Americans, but all the other nationalities that were in the Towers, the Pentagon and on the airplane that day. Yes, what it happening around the world in other countries is terrible, but we are not to blame for every war being waged on this planet. Don't take out your anger on the author.

UGH! not another one! I DONT CARE ABOUT SOME TERRORIST ATTACK! what makes us americans so special? 3000 people die,(3% of the daily death toll) and suddenly every1 shud feel for us but one million Armenians die in a ruthless genocide and we refuse to acknowledge it just to keep our military in Turkey. America deserved what it got
