• the pain felt by thousands
    no poet could capture
    the world stopped turning that still dreaded day

    so many people lost in the rubble beneath
    though my question without answer is are we to blame?


    should we have seen it coming
    that sunny September day?

    let them not be forgotten
    those people dieing just doing their job

    don't let the memories of them fade away
    be buried by falling rubble as they were
    let their legacy live long like the red white and blue
