9/11 2009

It’s been eight years since that day When all those people, went away And just another sad, sad, date When, all those souls, met their fate.

A day that will live in infamy In our short, American history Where we once, lived the life Without all, these fears and strife.

Way back, when we felt secure But, nowadays, we can’t be sure What the tomorrow, may bring That could be, ‘most anything.

We spent those days, cared for naught Never appreciating, all we’d got As now that peaceful, slips away We wonder where, we went astray.

There’s lots of reasons, we should know Those places that, we oughtn’t go But, it seems that, we haven’t learned All that knowledge, we have earned.

While we have, this day of sorrow Wonder what, we’ll feel tomorrow When the remembering is done We’ll go right back to, “I’m number one!”
