September 11 Left It's Darkest......

Candles are burning
tear drops are in fall
devil reached the cockpit
harmony shifted to harm
peace was erupted
principles were ignored
heading was tampered
healing seems too far
compass signaled rage
destinations revealed blaze
morning turned to a nightmare
no mercy from horrifying waves
sounds of crashes
magnitude of collapses
worst tragedy occurred
in history of America
demonstrated to humanity all
new century scored it's heavy toll
September eleventh
left it's darkest side
human's life values
fell to it's minimal
people worldwide
remained in severe shock
united with America
against terror of any kind
it is a harsh challenge
spirits are high
America stands strong
freedom will survive
PART 2
News is shocking
tempers are running high
dad is not coming home
for dinner tonight
his plane vanished
in heart of sky
don't cry mama
please don't cry
ball game is canceled
ballroom is full of debris
school is called off
eyes are full of tears
my heart beats too fast
my mind is paralyzed
sorrow is conqueror
remedy is out of reach
sun stopped shining
darkness buried sky
don't cry mama
please don't cry
King of terror
wrapped up in coffin
terrorized the sky
over America
humiliated Arab race
for centuries to come
dishonored the glory of Islam
committed both acts
suicide and homicide in fact
forbidden by Holy Koran
no religion ever declares
massacring innocent people
gives key to heaven
it is never all right
many lives perished
they were precious
innocent victims
adults and children
with diverse origin
world trade towers
those beauty queens
symbol of America's strength
dream of world's prosperity
turned to incinerators
for many human's flesh
transposed to massive ashes
floated in sky
artistic design of pentagon
shifted to a huge casket
it's never all right
President Bush!
call is yours
terror's tumor is gaining
world deserves saving
from states around Persian Gulf
to Mediterranean sea
upto central Africa
throughout South Asia
Kashmir to China sea
people are despaired
for democracy
promoting democracy
is a key to succeed
eliminates terrorism seeds
among worldwide states
America stands strong
leading the world
with courage and pride
great leader like you
carrying a huge burden
through this historical landmark
touching passionately
American people one by one
people and government
united closer than ever
under flag of America
newborn towers
will soon be in rise
terrorism will become
history's landfill
world wide congregation
will end such an ordeal
price is so high
for freedom to survive
world is behind you
cause is justified
may God bless you
God bless America
Back
