I can’t imagine the fear that was etched in their eyes <br />That day when evil terror captured the skies <br />That day when the world stood together helpless <br />Tears filled the rivers as we cried ourselves breathless <br />As Lucifer watched and smiled from his fiery hole <br />Body after body fell from the sky like a rag doll <br />The stars and stripes with blood upon <br />And even though the skyline is gone <br />History will never let us forget <br />On 9/11 those with hearts wept <br />Flags were raised and the candles lit <br />The rest of the day in silence we’d sit <br />Washing the spot like Lady Macbeth <br /> The sky erased the clouds of death <br />As the dust began to settle on ground zero <br />A new graveyard had buried its last hero<br /><br />nicola burkett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/83-9-11-terror-skies/
