World Trade Center

Sadness and anger, sorrow and pain

All we can ask is what did they gain?

They flew in our home to bring us down hard

However, our spirit was never marred.

They began to not like us for what we have done

And they pulled off these acts in the name of the Great One.

Our enemies are many, but our allies are more

And in the end, we’ll see what this was done for.

The recovery and rescue has gone on for days

And survivors are sought out in every which way.

Our many heroes should have their heads held up high

And our thanks should go out to NYPD and FDNY.

They work dawn to dark to find what they can

And all of New York is their biggest fan.

Our buildings are gone, leveled to dust

Now moving on with life is a definite must.

We started to attack, dropping bombs in their place

Looking for a familiar face.

We want terrorism gone, out of our hair

And we need to fight this war fair and square.

It may take years to do what we need

And hope that we don’t make the civilians bleed

We need the help of our very close friends

To make these evil acts soon come to an end.

Guiliani and Bush have handled this well

They’re helping through the times since our buildings fell
