9-11. Forever

1

My whole world is falling down
Nine one one, nine one one.
In smoke and debris our loved ones drown
Nine one one, we say.2

Husbands, brothers, sons, and dads
Nine one one, nine one one,
Wives and sisters, daughters, mums,
All come to help that day.3

Senseless deaths from hate and war,
Nine one one, nine one one,
In our homeland or yonder shore,
When will it go away?4

Our children need us to be there,
Nine one, one, nine one, one,
To give them tender love and care
that drives their fears away.5

Author notes

For the 9-11, always remembered.
Two lights hold their place,
Forever shining bright.
Clary.

  What a Beautiful Poem!

  Brilliant, but so sad. Then again, 9/11 is sad, but it brought the country together.

  Rejazzin doesn't know what they are talking about. Apparently that person messed the whole damn point of the poem.
  
  you did an excellent job and it just makes me sad at the thought of what had happen to all the people.

  umm

  okay this was okay but i really was not likeing the nine one one repeats throughout the story. I think you could find something more hearwrenching and better to fill that space. But all in all it was good
