do you remember the eleventh of september?
your terror made us cry
thousands missing thousands died
many hurting in pain
will they be "normal" again
images we can't erase
nightmares are commonplace
we feel lost & alone
IF THEY SUFFERED it's not known
the world trade center attacked
by airplanes YOU hijacked
the towers are ablaze
the air filled by smoke & haze
people jump do they stay
OR IS IT BETTER THIS WAY
what horrors incurred
as the ground rushed up in a blur
answer this our request
GIVEN A CHOICE what was best
where was their peace of mind
to do this was so unkind
our police & firemen
how we should honor them
rescue & medical teams
responded to our screams
knowing the risk & danger
they helped complete strangers
saving lives their only goal
they served a vital role
but the twin towers fell
the last moments were pure hell
at the pentagon in dc
death & misery
in a pennsylvania field
more lives lost it's unreal
WHY are you filled with hate
against the united states
you worked here lived here FREE
in the land of liberty
where you had a better life
without terror & strife
what you've done makes us sad
& your terror makes us mad
you'll be punished for your crime
when caught you WILL do time
but we pray for your souls
for your people as a whole
we can forgive you yet
it will be hard to forget
the eleventh of september--DO YOU REMEMBER???
