Watching the news on Tuesday 11th of September 2001
I suddenly thought I had accidentally changed the TV channel and I had replaced the news with a film.
It was several seconds before I realised that I was actually watching a news report from America about the attack on the Twin Towers. A day and date we will never forget.

​

Nowadays when we gaze at a sun darkened face

We wonder, where from, which land or race

​

Will it always be there that first moment of fear

Whilst we try to decide does danger lay here

​

Faces once thought harmless now seem to be

Frightening and ominous to us for you see

​

When the terrorists struck from a clear blue sky,

They left behind questions, who did this, and why

​

Twin towers once standing so proud and tall

Lay destroyed and in ruins from huge fire balls

​

All powerful America was shaken and stunned

With nobody knowing why that deed had been done

​

Many reasons were offered as a cause for that day

Now the only thing left is for us all to pray

​

That a God we don't care which one he may be

Combines power with mercy and then hopefully

​

Never again will we suffer such dreadful sights

Because crazy fanatics need to show off their might
