2010 -- 3.1 (Fall) Poetry

9/11

2 towers, 2 planes,
So many lives never retrieved,
I wish I could understand
Because towers don’t come down from flames,
How would you explain
Fire balls of hell from the building side,
Just two weeks before
Bomb sniffing dogs taken away
Hijackers claim
It’s all in the change
There are still funny things
About the plane crashing
He said , “hey it’s John Smith”,
But it’s all just a fabricated myth,
And now it’s world war 3
And we send over our friends,
And we send over our fathers,
And we send over our brothers
And we send over our sisters
And if they die it’s a must
For freedom and we just
Have to honor and pay homage
To have the heart to hold our heads high
