The tragedy today will be forever written in time,
For this was the day when lives were put on the line.
It happened unexpectely; a sudden cause for concern-
New York City was the place;
The day was such a mess,
For it was the day that the United States was put to the test.

The test of patroitism
Us Americans were told
To take out our red, white, and blue
And our American flags we should unfold.
They would be placed half mast at first
In memorance of the victims
Who were put to death by the curse.

The curse was terriorism,
For terriorism was on the rise.
Most Americans would wise up and open their eyes
To learn they really didn't know
American history as they had once been told.
For now the real history begans to unfold
Everything that they should have learned in history class at school
They should and would have to use as a rule
Of how the events would play out,
And for American's freedom
They would need to fight.
"We want to keep our freedom,"
They would shout,
A pout, a cry would fall over the land
Over the victims and soldiers
We would loose in this stand.

USAMA BIN LADEN
Was the guy that started it all
That was the day when
We Americans mad teh call
To put a stop to terrorism once and for all.

USAMA BIN LADEN
The day for your death will come
An American holiday
We will pronounce
When we as Americans
Can stand up and shout.

September 11, 2001
We will never forget.
As Americans we learned
The hard way to stick together
Through the worst of times,
With tears in our eyes,
We went on and everywhere
People were saying-

"I'm proud to be an American."

Show your pride and being proud
Should be nothing to hide.
