Shock and awe still linger
Though ten long years have passed.
The horrors of that fateful day
In our hearts forever last!
Pandemonium in the city streets
The whole world held it breath.
Terror completely beyond belief
Brought grief and fear and death!
A beautiful city dazed and crushed
Souls forever lost!
For evil’s trip to paradise
The innocent paid the cost!
Under siege, the country struggled
With a foe they couldn’t see.
Death in flight, enroute to them
Where would the next strike be?
The deadly messengers struck again
With paradise in their sights!
But for evil incarnate there’s no reward
Hell is their only right!
Angels watched over the heroes
That took the last plane down!
For their country the ultimate sacrifice
Crushing evil into the ground!
Memories tend to fade away
As time slips into the past,
But September memories of 2001
Are guaranteed to last!
Though we’ll never truly understand
The evil in human hearts,
We can’t let fear define who we are
Because that’s when tyranny starts!

You poem was right on, Anna, but a large majority of the country isn't in tune with your thoughts. I sincerely hope that I am wrong.
