September 11

Some of us went to work and back,

Our families were lucky to see us, 

Others sat and stared at the attack, 

This is real pain, not just the world's big fuss.  

Suicide attacks targeted US landmarks, 

Flight 11 and 175 crashed into the Twin Towers,  

They collapsed 110-story towers, they didn't just leave marks, 

People didn't get the chance to smell their loved ones' flowers. 

Flight 77 attacked the Pentagon's western side,  

Flight 93 attacked a field near Shanksville and claimed people's lives, 

Others jumped from burning buildings and still died,  

Those were wives' husbands and husbands' wives. 

Nobody can reverse that terrible tragic day,

Until this day, people are still learning to pick up the pieces everyday.
