AMERICA'S WORST DAY

Disaster struck America on Eleventh September
Three planes crashed on buildings we remember
Americans who had forgotten to pray
Were down on their knees in disarray

America's twin towers which took years to ascend
Struck by the terrorists were quick to descend
Oh! What a disaster as the whole world listened
Glued to their TVs horrified at what happened

For the Americans it was quick and sudden
The terrorists were on a suicide mission
Osama Bin Laden took his opportune chance
To split America's heart into several parts

It was shock to the entire world and all
Except for the hijackers who knew it all
The Americans thought that they were the wall
Which none could ever break at all

Thousands who died on that fateful day
Were working in the towers night and day
But forever they were silenced never to say
How they died in this most tragic way

Pride of America - The World Trade Centre
Came down before the rescuers could enter
For the Americans it was a costly blunder
Which they will - for ages remember
