TOWA! TOWA! TOWA!



On a September morn

The World would mourn



Many people on this day

Went down on bended knee to pray



For many leaving on a Jet plane, wouldn’t come back again

No one realised what sudden pain, this day would reign



Cell phones ringing, they’ll be no sleigh bells singing!

Last words spoken, voice in token, hearts broken



“Called to say ’I love you’ “

“OH....my God!....I wish............



The smoke is heavy now, I can’t breath

I can’t see or even believe..I just want to heave and grieve



A plane has crashed into South Tower one

Won’t belong before we are all gone!



People burning, gasping for air

Some opened windows and plunged in mid-air



Young and old caught on the stairwell

The lame and the crippled didn’t farewell



Most didn’t panic; step by step they did go

From floor to floor and door to door; crawling, fumbling in vertigo



The brave firemen up they went carrying heavy loads

Not long after the Tower implodes!



Terror struck New York!

People looked up ~ and could only gawk!



Can this be happening, I can’t cope

My eyes see, my ears hear, but my mind can’t accept this kaleidoscope



A day of infamy, grief and sorrows

Will never be forgotten in our tomorrows



Couldn’t comprehend why?

All I know to do is pray and cry



Terror will have struck a blow!

The Blood of the innocent, congealed below



Right will conquer wrong

This is a time to be strong!



Courage will overcome fear and dread

Even after we’ve buried our dead



Love will defeat hate and malice

Even though we tasted evils chalice



Ultimate victory lies ahead

Don’t bow your head, but raise it instead!



Be united for what is right

Then you will fight with all your might



Be strong and of good courage all

Raise the banner of liberty ~Call!
