World Trade Center Why In Memory Morning After Death 11th Of September |
Poetry written about the tragedy of September 11th 2001
"World Trade Center"
The smell of fresh brewed coffee
Say your good mornings as usual
A midweek day as normal as can be
But things would not be as they had been
The sudden crashes, never saw it coming
The flames and debris, enormous thundering
Glorious twins of Manhattan falling to their knees
Crying who are these ..
Who've beset me so?
Where are all my children?
Where did they go?
Planes full of people lost their lives
From higher stories some chose to dive
Another day which will live in infamy
Through brotherhood and as a family
America will find a way to carry on
We'll show the world what kind of stuff
That we're made of.

"Why?"
Yesterday 9/11, some madmen
Stole a precious gift
They took away our innocence
Small children were there
On an adventure in the sky
They are now in God's presence
How could hate be so strong
To cause someone to do this?
Today we all woke up...different
We are all one people
No matter what our beliefs
Race, creed and color have no relevance.
Yesterday 9/11, our whole world was changed
People are dead
The landscape has changed
Our freedom was attacked
And all I can say is....Why?

"In Memory"
Michelle Lynn McPeters
Inman, S.C.
What was it you had said?
Why did you have to go?
Each simple little memory
Now passes by so slow
I am stuck in the yesterday
Not wanting to accept
The horrid truth that you are gone
Your life taken without threat
This morning you awoke
To face a brand new day
But a cold-hearted terrorist
Took that gift away
Throught the grave cry for the last
In the settling of the dust
They failed to shake our foundation
For in God we put our trust

"Morning After Death"
Edward Ruffin
Macon, Ga.
Morning after death
Silence up above
Crying across streets
Ruble and debris
Dust still aloft
Thousand dying screams
Empty table places
Empty morning beds
Hope against dar
Manhattan, Washington, America

"11th Of September"

Royersford, Pa.
So many people weep
From this major tragedy
So many people dead and injured
And they have yet to fine more deceased
Everyone, everywhere
Look around in disbelief
No one can believe what happened
All of the people pray for peace
No One thought this could happen
At least never to us
No one saw it coming
And now that it did we are woken up
Many people cry and mourn
For the loved ones they have lost
Many peoples hearts have been torn
For the tragedy that yesterday born
(copyright 2003 Krystal Denning)
