The Brothers

Poem Artwork

The brothers stood together


Straight and tall


Symbols of man’s ability to create


Great beauty from concrete, glass and steel


 


When viewed from across the bay


The towers like mountains stood


Gazing out across both land and sea


A beacon of accord and trade across the world


 


Troubled men with aircraft large


Plunged deep into the heart of each brother where he stood


Down plummeted the brothers killing all left inside


An act of terror and jealousy killing thousands


 


The brothers no longer stand


But the two will ne’er be forgot


A nation brought together by an act of hate


God Bless America!


 


The act had not the reaction wanted


It served only to bring us closer together


In every community, in every home,


Red, White, and Blue, the country’s flag


Displayed for all to see

United we stand divided we fall and there are some who are trying to divide us in this great Country of ours but with God's help they will not succeed.
