Analysis of September 11th, 2001
September 11th happened so fast,
Nobody knew what hit them after that crash.
Tears of sadness for those tragically lost,
Our beautiful boundaries forcibly crossed.
Many days did shed no light,
For who would want to pick this fight.
Holy war you do profess,
Against America you have no contest.
War begets war is what they say,
But peace by terrorists was outweighed.
We will not take this abuse too lightly,
Now called for is proportions only heard of Biblically.
The moment you crashed into our lives,
You destroyed your chances to survive.
Osama sure did make a lot of noise,
So strap on your boots and grab your rifles Boys!
Alright here we come!
Don't say I didn't warn you when it's all done.
We the people, Americans be,
Shall come for you relentlessly.
In memory of 9/11/2001 please take a few moments to remember those lost, those saved & the ones who saved them. Never forget.
