'twas on a day like this
fifteen years ago...
two planes flew into two towers 
in the heart of New York City.

As the skies turned gray
three thousand lives were taken away.

Today is September eleven
and the sun came shining in.
But soon storm clouds flew in
and opened up as though shedding a tear.

The clouds moved on their way
as we continue on our way.

It's interesting that you chose the subject to be "action/thriller." We will always remember what a gray day that was, but we can't dwell on what we can't change and must move forward to prevent it from ever happening again. That's your message.
