9/11

Seema Tabassum Maqsood Ali

Early morning news
September shower profuse
Little baby Ali,crying in a mayhem
Daddy in Kuwait and Mummy with me
In Rawalpindi.

Husband,begins to scream
The Taliban have gone extreme
They have killed American kith and kin
A very sad day it is.

God protect each and every American today
Keep them out of danger always
May Allah I pray
Help Manhattan today, and
Make America great in every way!

Allah may my Daddy
Be as beautiful as the mayflower
May no-one empower his way
Ameen
