'Twas with horror they did in shock,
awake to find love's lost,
the foulest deed a man could see;
innocent's paid the cost.
As terror reigned above their heads,
and they breakfast beneath,
the malice of the troglodyte;
appeared as they brushed teeth.

First one then two sky chariots,
imps casually hijack'd,
a third and fourth soon followed them;
as blades did swing and hack.
The passenger's did sit there calm,
thinking they'd soon be free,
they did not know the devil's game;
of his vile strategy.

And he in cave did hide and laugh,
so foist in abnegation,
his demons gave up their young live's;
fed an aberration.
Now turning these flying machines,
calamity ensued,
the first of two did crash into,
twin towers standing true.

In third of four the passengers,
did make a stand to say,
you'll not use us to do this deed;
since we will die today.
And charging devils down the aisle,
the bravest souls did dash,
unfortunately for them all;
the chariot did crash.

The fourth one now was armed for war,
aimed at the pentagon,
the doorway there it went right through,
a wall once there... now gone.
So there my friends the count went up,
as more lives now were lost,
the beast so far away in ground;
did celebrate their loss.

As those twin towers fell to earth,
and thousands... died inside,
what I saw next did fill me up;
my heart replete with pride!
As dust did fill the air they breathed,
the people round about,
ran out into the streets below;
to offer to help out.

And those who went asked no reward,
as they did battle on,
those men and women struggled there;
now they all act as one.
This cowardly attack on them,
was based upon race hate,
and yet the people of all creeds;
worked in united state.

All nations standing side by side,
and comforting each other,
Red white and blue with stars their flag;
the dead they did recover. 
And all that time the cancer ate, 
always hungry for more,
but now the dragon is awake;
it's beating at the door.

The moral of this story is,
do not make an error,
in thinking that a nation;
will give way to terror!
For rather than divide people,
they will join in sorrow,
and then they'll come for you my friend;
today not tomorrow!
