The Day the Eagle Cried

On September 11, 2001 Our American Eagle cried,
For that was the day that changed our world and many people died.
It all began as a normal day.
Children walking and laughing along their way.
Men and women on their way to work as usual
Some stuck in traffic but nothing unusual..

Some people at their seats or climbing the stairs
Some in elevators to various floors and unaware.
All of a sudden at 8:45 A loud noise was heard and panic began to rise.

A passenger jet seemed to have missed the runway
An accident or what happened to change the day?
The World trade center tower 1 was struck by terrorists
who had taken control of a passenger jet, that hit so fast.
The people weren't aware this day could be their last.

As they evacuated one of the Towers.
A few minutes later they recognized the power.
Run down the stairs, elevators not working
Some may have stayed thinking no danger was lurking.

Then all of a sudden their was another loud crash
They knew then they should get out real fast.
During this all. the Fireman, police and EMTS and the like.
Were running toward the buildings knowing it was there fight.

Military Men, Women and civilians too were running right into danger
A lot of them didn't come back as they sacrificed their lives to save a Stranger.
So on that day the Eagle Cried and everything changed for the rest of our lives.

You Cannot Hide!
This is a poem from my Friend Debi

You are wanted so bad and fast
your hiding places just cannot last

You committed crimes so horrendous and bad
made so many people lonely and sad

There is no escape George W knows
that this is the way that every war goes

So you cannot hide and we'll find you yet
and there'll be no more, terrorism , you bet
