Analysis of Have you forgotten



Have you forgotten
A day to live in infamy
when cowards changed our history
Taking the lives of thousands  needlessly
By hitting towers in New York and Pentagon in DC
I watched in horror as those buildings fell
The smoke arising looking like Satan laughing from hell
Heros rushed trying to save those they could
Not caring the dangers or thinking if they should
Many of them paid a heavy price
Many of them got I'll and lost their lives
The question arises after twenty years has been spent
Have you forgotten
