"9, 11"

We welcome people into the United States cause we stand for freedom and a place to be free;
But this day, September 11, 2001, was a day terrorists marked as a time for us to die and let be.

It was eight years ago, today;
We trusted people who blew some of our world away.

Two planes hit in New York City, a landmark called the Twin Towers;
Some people lost family members and left our country in tears for hours.

Another plane hit down in Pennyslvania somewhere;
To save another landmark cause we as American did care.

The president was sent somewhere so he could hide for cover;
But other Americans lost their lives to get away from others.

This the land of the Home and the Brave;
But September 11th or 9-11, become a long list of American graves.

God Bless you all, who lost someone dear to your heart,
But no matter what we are protected by God from the start.

Nice tribute too those who lost the lives and loved ones on a day we will never forget.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
