The beauty of that pristine morning
Was interrupted by a smoky cloud
A plane had struck the Trade Center
Covering the top with a dark shroud
The wail of sirens then filled the air
Manhattan fireman were on the way
Not knowing what they would find
Or the horror of that September day
Many people worked in those towers
A second plane came out of the blue
Hitting the building with an explosion
That nearly tore the second tower in two
Up the stairways went the brave fireman
Looking for some people they could save
Disregarding the perils they were facing
The New York firemen certainly are brave
Through twisted metal, glass, and rubble
The search continues through the long day
Firemen's resolve will not be diminished
Good decent people who will go all the way
A Solemn Vow
Do not mistake our tears as weakness
But for compassion of our fellow man
The cowardly deed you did that day
Is an act the whole world must ban
I have no idea what you expected
There was nothing you could gain
Was the whole objective you had
To cause us all suffering and pain
No matter where on earth you hide
We will find you and your friends
Be assured, we in America resolve
To get you, we will spare no ends
The world must eradicate this scum
Make this earth a safe place to live
We ask all other countries to assist
We need all the help you can give
Black Tuesday
The grief we all share is enormous
Our hearts are still very sad today
Gone are the ones up in the towers
The journey to heaven is on its way
A bright and clear Tuesday morning
Was interrupted in the blink of a eye
A blaze was raging high in the tower
A plane had dropped out of the sky
Terrified people were in those towers
A way out of the smoke must be found
With elevators and exits being blocked
People jumped to death onto the ground
A sickening site our eyes then did see
The other tower was hit and set on fire
The tower then became a raging inferno
To so many it became their funeral pyre
For those of us living in this great country
Please never forget what happened this day
To all the innocent people who lost their lives
For their souls we bow our heads and pray
A Devil
If you walk the path of life alone
There is so much sadness you live
No love will enter into your heart
No affection you will have to give
Torment will follow you every day
Your time will be spent in misery
Your furtive look will be the same
Every time someone else you see
Loneliness will be your only friend
True companions you will never find
Dark doubts will forever be with you
You think you are losing your mind
Every day will be the same to you
Your Allah to you will never be true
You can run, but you can never hide
Bin Lauden we are going to get you
The Terrorist
You destroyed our twin towers
But what a price you will pay
For damages to the pentagon
We will haunt your every day
You are like a hunted mad dog
No place on earth can you hide
Be it on the highest mountain
Or a ship sailing with the tide
Your acts wont lead to heaven
For it is straight to hell for you
You don’t abide by your Koran
To Allah you will never be true
You are crazed in your thinking
To you we have caused no pain
For all the killing you have done
Tell me, what has been your gain
Twin Towers
Two beams of light shines in the sky
As memorial to those towers so tall
To all of the brave men and women
That were in them as they began to fall
It is to all those people that perished
That these lights were made to shine
Good hard working men and women
It is for them our heart still does pine
So beautiful were those two towers
Soaring high in the New York sky
Reaching out as if seeking heaven
High upon the top Old Glory did fly
The United States will forever be free
Never will we kneel to the tyrants act
Those of us that love this great country
We will defend it and that is a trueful fact
An Omen
Remembering how they were
Tall and reaching for the sky
Gone are they this sunny day
We shall forever wonder why
Could shafts of light foretell
The fate of the buildings tall
Show the path of the planes
That caused the buildings fall
Omens like this come to us
In all kinds of strange ways
Heed them don't forget them
If not it may limit your days
Today they no longer do stand
These tall twin majestic towers
Were the rays really an omen
That came from higher powers
