9/11 tore the joy from many American lives.
It made heroes weep even if they had never shed a tear in their life.
The innocent had unjustly died in the name of hatred
Because of all the chaos humans wrongfully created.
People watched the black luminous clouds soar
And they seemed to taunt them as if they settled a score.
Even after these many mocking years
Others still feel discouraged by their fear.
All they can do is cry for the loved ones they miss
And every night, blow them an affectionate kiss.
