On that infamous day that we shan't forget They slaughtered the innocent without regret They planned and schemed to destroy and maim As they packed the explosives aboard the plane
With rabid minds and thoughts to kill To murder and mutilate the thought did thrill To lay down their life and become a martyr With terrorists ideals they thought were smarter
With innocuous lives they sacrificed in spite As they proudly and fatally boarded their flight The lives they'll shatter, the havoc they'll wreak The innocent they’ll slaughter and kill the meek
The whole world watched transfixed again and again As the towers they hit with commercial planes Our hearts went out to the ones who were left Devastated lives worlds shattered, bereft
Christian unity and spirits combined To aid the bereaved who were left behind A rallying cry that resounded and called To the civilized world who watched appalled
Many heroes emerged from the destructed site They sweated and toiled without respite From this tragedy the human spirit soared From all over the world the assistance poured
The brave and the frightened joined like steel Emotions were high the determination real They worked shoulder to shoulder until they dropped Still more replaced them, they never stopped
A stark lesson was learnt that infamous day That the instigators of death would not get away We promised their lives would not be in vain We’ll hunt them down until none remain
The unbridled hatred and vicious odium From these killers that spout from their evil podium So be forever watchful and take this lesson to heart Make the message clear, never again you impart
Our time on this earth is as brief as a breath So no more wasting the time we have left For the ones we love can be blasted away So cherish each from dawning of day.
