By Hayley and Jeri

You don’t agree with the things we do
So attack us one day out of the blue?
You may not agree with the country or the issues dealt with
So why take innocent lives for your own sick bliss?
Your people may not agree with what we say
But why does it have to begin this way?
In order to break the silence
You had to resort to violence?
Just because you don’t have a democracy
Is no excuse for your hypocrisy
You may have conquered your sadistic plan
Now the world will never be the same again
Who you are and where your from is now unknown
Soon to be in every text book for years to come
People covered from head to toe in ashes
People dying in extremely large masses
Ashes covering people like snow
Running wildly with no place to go
The death toll, too high to count
Soon one day it will be your amount
I hope you achieved your goal
You’ve left something missing from everyone’s soul
Think of the children left all alone
No one there when they come home
Of all the people that are dying
Even more are left crying
Tears roll down everyone’s cheek
For you caused an important day this week
This is something the world will not forget
And soon it will be something you will regret
We have far too much military intelligence
To deal with this sort of nonsense
You made a male news reporter cry
And left at least four of your own to die
Is this your cry for help?
Do you have problems that need to be dealt?
You caused this day to be an important time
It marks the date of your heinous crime
All that is left in this part of NYC
Are bodies, rubble, ashes and debris
Our own planes were used as your tool
More innocent people and full tanks of fuel
Four black boxes eager to find
Containing information you left behind
What is the point that you are trying to prove?
We cannot tell by the actions you choose
You may have changed New York’s skyline forever
Untied our country stands, all together
