Tuesday Terror

September 11th, 2001
Under an in-suspecting sun                                                                 
Someone is trying to take us out      
Under attack Americans shout                           

This sight I thought I'd never see                    
Terror crashing, on the brave & free    
I thought I'd never have to cry           
Because of hatred from the sky         
  
Such cowardly acts by someone un-seen    
Killing my fellow human beings       
Thinking they could bring to a cease       
A country 'true' with love & peace                        

The day is Tuesday - I color it black.               
But we stand united, we will bounce  back.  
We trust in God, our spirit is strong      
We'll see that our flag waves every dawn

This poem is about: 
My country
