An event in time
too surreal to believe
has befallen America
and rendered it too sad to grieve.
In the blink of an eye
and the span of an hour
America’s innocence was lost
its freedom devoured.
Our glorious towers
once stood so stunning and strong
are now reduced to rubble
by a humanity gone wrong.
Our beloved skyline
now missing its crown jewel
leaves a nation wondering aloud
how does someone grow so cruel.
Countless innocents lost in the terror
life as we know it probably changed forever.
A moment in hell
still frozen in time.
An American’s sorrow unending
yours and mine.
