This poem is in response to your request about the terrorist attacks on 9/11/01:
You had to take us by surprise
To bring such devastation
But in case you didn't know
We're a united nation
You planned and plotted many years
You tried to bring us down
But you have made us stronger
And we will stand our ground
You took many from us
But many did survive
The one thing you will never take
Is our nation's pride
Life means nothing to you
You have no heart at all
When you can kill so many
And hope our nation falls
Our nation's back is very strong
Her heart is brave and true
We will fight to keep her safe
From anyone like you
We know you keep plotting
To strike again some day
But one by one we'll find you
And one by one you'll pay
