September 11, 2001 Kirsten McManus
The serenity of the purest sky
Contrasts the river from his eyes;
The peacefulness of the forest green
Contrasts the chaos at the scene.
I can't imagine the pain he feels
Knowing his mama is under the steel
A lonely hand left for no one to hold
The people we loved, the brave, the bold.
I can't just sit back
As the world falls down.
Who can relax,
Ignore the sounds?
Someone out thre makes an evil sneer
Ecstatic he temporarily strangled our cheer.
But the American Spirit is just like those planes:
It will soar over even the toughest terrains
Failing to fall without putting up a fight,
Don't mess with America
Our Pride is our Might.
