a sudden state
i cry this day to mourn the heros
lost in a bitter tragic cry of hate
a quiet routine day
at the hardworking world trade
the silence suddenly broken by an ear splitting sound of metal versus meatl
a sudden state of confusion
a sudden state of panic
a sudden state of death
a huge fire burned like the one in the hearts of our patriots fighting for our homes
when the dust settled and hope arose
a sudden state of grief
a sudden state of loss
a sudden state of death
now we all cry for those who were lost
our friends
our soldiers
our heroes

Nicely said. God bless America and everyone who died on 9-11-01.

Howl at the stars, whisper when you're sleeping, I'll be there to hold you, I'll be there to stop the chills and all the weeping.

I was in New York on that fateful day, a year ago, and I just wanted to tell you that you expressed the pain, and the tragic triumph, beautifully. Proud to be an American!
