911, What's Your Emergency


Smoke fills the sky as terror fills our eyes frightful hearts stand and stare some completely unaware The angry fires blazed as many stood amazed As the hungry fires burned for something others yearned to crash the American dream but obviously things were worse than they seemed Run! Get out! Everyone seemed to shout as the towers tumbled down on the desolate frightened ground Falling from the sky people tried to dive to avoid the fate to come but it was already done Ashes filled the air creating a frightful scare to millions across the nation they saw the situation as terror consumed them all as they saw the towers fall 911 what’s your emergency It’s 9/11 mam’ And Daddy won’t come home he went in bravely but, now he’s not coming out. I’m sorry son, dad’s not coming home to see you anymore. For the smoke stood, So many things it took For families are now broken Lives have now been shaken As the towers fell In this fiery smoking hell.
