9-11 Poem
I wrote this soon after the terrorist attacks of 9-11.I would like to dedicate this to all the heroes and the victims of those attacks.


The Eagle

‘Twas an ordinary day
On a Tuesdy morning.
One person cared not
What the other one was doing.
Some people were at school,
Some at home, and some at work.
The Eagle was relaxing
After many years of war.

Without warning, an explosion: not just one, but two, then three.
A plane has hit the Pentagon, two have hit Twin Towers.
In an instant, thousands gone, the Towers disappear.
Not since Pearl Harbor has the Eagle felt such fear.

People who once did not care
Were helping those in need.
A city known for violence
Reported just one crime that day.
Pulling people from the rubble
Was all that seemed to matter.
Divided we would have fallen,
But United we still stand.

From the dust and the rubble
Of a city that always stands tall,
The Eagle then emerges
Like the Phoenix born again.
Its wings of Freedom
Spread around its offspring.
As the world unites knowing
That the culprit shall be punished.
