Random Acts Pray For Awareness
Can’t cure the feeling.
Have to go.
But today the clouds are extra dark.
Minutes passed by and people fought for chaos.
Lives lost and some not retrieved.
Years pass by as they want to be heard from beyond the ash.
Have to go.

Minutes passed by and people fought for chaos.
Lives lost and some not retrieved.
Years pass by as they want to be heard from beyond the ash.

15 Septembers ago...
And a nation fell to its knees
bowing its head
eyes swollen from
painful, bloody tears
dripping in the form of
mothers, fathers
brothers, sisters,
husbands, wives,
children, families
all lives changed forever
things will never be the same
R.I.P the innocent that died and those that gave their lives in order to try to save others on Sept, 11 2001...
never to be forgotten, always thought of, forever missed...

Never Forget, ( our spirit is strong )
Airplanes into towers, plain view for all to see
the goal to inflict some terror, and create insanity
As we all tried to understand, such a severe attack
It brought us all together, now that we can all look back
The politicians gathered, for once no left or right
clergy from all walks of life, prayed throughout the night
Poets and musicians, sung songs for love and peace
emergency responders, kept uncovering more deceased
The world offered condolences, in languages near and far
people of all walks of life, broke down their barriers
It made us feel aghast at some inhumanity
and the tragic loss of life defied our sanity
So the world came together, ever yet so brief
as we struggled to rebuild and overcome our grief
With human sin involved we can never fully understand
what fans the fuels of hatred, against our fellow man
This day reminds the world, that G(o)od and (D)evil do exist
Yet people come together, Gods winning love, always will persist
the goal to inflict some terror, and create insanity
As we all tried to understand, such a severe attack
It brought us all together, now that we can all look back
The politicians gathered, for once no left or right
clergy from all walks of life, prayed throughout the night

emergency responders, kept uncovering more deceased
The world offered condolences, in languages near and far

With human sin involved we can never fully understand
what fans the fuels of hatred, against our fellow man
This day reminds the world, that G(o)od and (D)evil do exist
Yet people come together, Gods winning love, always will persist

At the moment, of course, I cannot write anything like that. Since I'm just learning how to write. For this I read a lot and the last thing I read was https://freebooksummary.com/category/walden-two utopian novel. If you have any ideas on how to quickly learn how to write, please write.
When the Towers Fell
After all these years
It’s still heartbreaking
To have witnessed evil
To have seen so many deaths at the hands of a few
To have felt so helpless…
We wondered was about their pain
The final choice many made
The thoughts they must’ve had in their last minutes
Thinking about family and loved ones
It’s still heartbreaking
It’s still heartbreaking
To watch the fire and smoke billowing
The pain and anguish of souls trapped
What prayers must’ve risen to the heavens
And when the towers fell
It was hell unleashed on earth
A testament of evil
As the world watched powerless
Pleading for those souls
But out of the ash and smoke
Valor, heroism and bravery arose
There were those who sacrificed their lives
So that others would have a chance to live
Though there was loss
Humanity shared in grief
And for a while an entire nation felt more…United

The carving
The silhouettes that filled Septembers sky,
in innocence they stood.
Twins, stood never far apart
America in brotherhood
the trade they had would soon be robbed
carved with hatred
carved from a clear blue sky
carved with the fanatic's death wish cry
We stand for just a minute now,
silence gathered, heads bowed down,
and try to resurrect. from the shattered and the torn.
9/11 the innocence of dawn.
A fading photo clasped, the knuckles white,
with sorrow and our teeth clenched tight.
The corpses that still walk and talk,
still living in the chaos,
choking in the smoke and dust.
Sirens wail, to accompany our grief
and only GOD to hold the handkerchief.
That loss is etched on hearts and minds
chiseled with a living cross.
carved on the city's, sidewalks, roads and streets.
in innocence they stood.
Twins, stood never far apart
America in brotherhood
the trade they had would soon be robbed
carved with hatred
carved from a clear blue sky
carved with the fanatic's death wish cry
We stand for just a minute now,
silence gathered, heads bowed down,
and try to resurrect. from the shattered and the torn.
9/11 the innocence of dawn.
A fading photo clasped, the knuckles white,
with sorrow and our teeth clenched tight.
The corpses that still walk and talk,
still living in the chaos,
choking in the smoke and dust.
Sirens wail, to accompany our grief
and only GOD to hold the handkerchief.
That loss is etched on hearts and minds
chiseled with a living cross.
carved on the city's, sidewalks, roads and streets.
