Red, White, and Blue

November 19, 2008

Ash covered a city of lights



Smoke did the same.
After several hours of sweat and fights
The fires finally tame.
Many wonderful lives were took
And remembered in our heart.
Our nation was burned and shook
Families torn apart.
One day every year is all that we get
To remember the horrific day
When America took a hit.
The headlines don’t ignore it
Yet many the people do
But we will come together
As red, white, and blue.

Today in Communication Arts class one of my friends was asking around if anyone knew what day and year the twin towers happened. I was appalled at the responses that some kids gave. That is how I got inspired to write something about that horrific day.
