My 9/11

Luis Sylvestre Torres 1980 (Springfield,mass)



I was 21.
I was switching around at the T.V..
At first site I figured some sort of special on building fires or something.
Then after a while of switching I begin to ask what the hell.
Something's wrong I can tell.
Then the headlines cleared the way on every channel.
Just so many angles.
We're under attack after the second one.
With one plane of course somebody must not be sober or on a rage or something.
Finally the Pentagon has been attacked.
I stood attached.
Now then who are these people attacking and why?
It has been the longest war in U.S.
history.
Ground zero now has much mourn to soak in.
And vengeance is great on Bin Laden.
