Twin Towers

You died in vain
bya world gone insane

Killed and gone away
we still mourn your death today

A terrorist attack
courage you didnt lack

I think of that day
and remember how i
wiped the tears away

I could believe it when I was told
I was only 18 years old

But we couldnt hide
and we knew the world
hadn't lied

Thousands died that day
and I found I had nothing to
say.

I'm sure many of you were shocked by sept 11th as i was...so i wrote this poem for all who died that day, you see i had friends who worked in the twin towers who died....so this poem is for them and all others....May you rest in peace....

yet another beautiful work of art. excellent. it was well written, and i think when you talk about how you had to wipe away your tears, that was touching. I'm sorry for your loss, and anyone elses. and they did die in vain. may they rest in peace. thanks for writing such a great poem abou that day. it was shocking, full of sadness and just basically made the world even crazier than it was before. nice job!!

I liked it. I thought that considering the subject you were talking about it could have been a lot more powerful, intense, emotional, etc. However, I do think that it said enough that it doesn't necessarily have to pack a real punch, you know what I mean? It carries itself. Good work.
