September 11th

A date etched in time,
An event to remember,
When evil touched American soil,
On the eleventh of September.

Because of the evil in men's hearts,
And a few little knives,
Many people of a nation are shattered,
And thousands have died.

The children of our families,
Splitting apart husbands and wives,
All to make a point,
By shedding the blood of American lives.

Our illusions of security,
Our mythical blanket of bliss,
Was ripped from our eyes,
As a result of all this.

Devastating many,
With the actions of a few,
Even God will seek his revenge,
Before all this is through.

Our coastal lines are active,
And soldiers are being armed,
To payback the attack on our land,
And this need for alarm.
