It’s been ten years since that dreadful day

In the Morning the air was very calm

Then there were sounds, just like a bomb
I saw the first twin tower
Being blown away with power
I knew this was no joke
When the second tower went up in smoke
There were brave cops and firefighters at the scene
The pictures were becoming from obscene
You could see a river of red
There were thousands of people who were dead
Who did this terrible act?
It was bin Laden at that’s a fact
Every year at this time we mourn
And wish that the evil doers were never born
We will always know on nine eleven
Many good souls went to heaven
Though ten years have passed since this terrible sin
Never let the Bastards win
