Tuesday Terror


September 11th, 2001
Under an in-suspecting sun                                                                 
Someone is trying to take us out      
Under attack Americans shout                           

This sight I thought I'd never see                    
Terror crashing, on the brave & free    
I thought I'd never have to cry           
Because of hatred from the sky         
  
Such cowardly acts by someone un-seen    
Killing my fellow human beings       
Thinking they could bring to a cease       
A country 'true' with love & peace                        

The day is Tuesday - I color it black.               
But we stand united, we will bounce  back.  
We trust in God, our spirit is strong      
We'll see that our flag waves every dawn
