Those in the midst of the vile inferno
Must have reasoned that the world was ending.
Not knowing a fiendish, vindictive one,
A hate message to the world was sending.

Such malevolence conspired with Satan,
And Allah given the shameful credit.
Heaven weeping at this base dishonor,
Quickly moved the act to Hell's long debit.

Brave heroes arose to the occasion.
Some gave their lives to right this dreadful wrong.
These names are inscribed in Heaven's journal.
The villains praised in a demonic song.

Red white and blue will claim the victory.
Right foreordained to triumph over wrong.
Terrorists, in final moments, learning
Americans do not stay prone for long.

You have penned exactly what I had been thinking..when you said those there must have thought the world was ending.. and sadly it did for them.. yet too our world as we knew it ended too.. and it's a much more frightening place to be.
