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
