What irony on that day that I chose to wear
a shirt bearing the flag I hold so dear.
Smoke, fire, explosions, a few to name,
were consuming the "towers of the same".
Such chaos and bewilderment filled my head
as these men chose to die, now many are dead.
Countless brave people saved so many lives,
yet only to lose their's as the tower dives.
And when I saw the second twin collapse,
I prayed there would be survivors, many, perhaps.
The expression of horror and fear on faces of dust...
Can't this be a dream, oh, it must!
But the reality quickly falls into place
as the once bustling section is now rubbled space.
As our country unites, each and every one,
our duty to protect is not quite done.
We must rely on strength from up above,
as someday, our world will once again be filled with love.
