Never Forget The
Day
The Eagle Cried
By: Kelly Rossi
Twin
towers
stood tall and proud
Stood in a city, welcoming people to the home of the brave
Towers
built in a time when people had no heroes
Just fighting and war
All this before the
towers
came crashing down.
Students were mixed up
Protesting, exercising freedoms
But really taking them for granted
Breaking the laws and weakening our government
Wanting to make love not war
All this before the
towers
came crashing down.
Our government was even abusing the little power it had
The president was breaking the laws
He was embarrassing our nation
He even had to leave his office
And face the world
As a failure
All this before the
towers
came crashing down.
Then the
towers
were completed
Standing tall and proud
Guarding their mother Lady Liberty
Two solid twin brothers
Taller than any other
Welcomed people to our recovering nation
All this before the
towers
came crashing down.
In twenty-four years people came to hate Lady Liberty and all she stood
for.
They wanted to destroy the nation she calls home
They weren't powerful enough to do that but they could take the twins
They began making plans, and training evil men
All this before the
towers
came crashing down.
Now New York remembers an explosion louder than they had ever heard
And the ominous silence and shock that followed
They saw unsung heroes trying to save the people that the twins were
trying to protect
The sun cast the brothers in a brilliant light
Against a sky so blue
That the heroes had no clue, that soon the
towers
would be no more
All this before the
towers
came crashing down.
Then the twins had to give up their valiant fight, they
fell
to a heap
The unsung heroes and the people were lost
Some never to be found
When the
towers
came crashing down.
Heroes search through the rubble of Ground Zero
Searching for their own, and loved ones
But they're looking for even more than that,
They're searching for ways to live with the horror they saw on that
day
And a way to heal the nation and their children's hearts
All this since the
towers
came crashing down.
Now the number 911 has come to mean something more to every American
Fear, triumph, honor, pride, terror, compassion, freedom, all mean more
since that
day
So much was lost, so much was gained
Buildings, heroes, a naive sense of invulnerably, but we gained a
certain patriotism that
had been forgotten
America is now rebuilding on very scared ground
Never giving up, never giving in to fear
All this since the
towers
came crashing down.
Americans vow never to forget, Never to be caught off guard
We have given many lives to protect all our country stands for
Young lives never to be completed
Given to protect our Freedoms
All this since the
towers
came crashing down.
