Terrible Tuesday

On that sunny Tuesday morning, seventeen years ago today;
A terrible storm was forming, and heading straight our way!
Nineteen Sons of Satan, creatures sent straight from Hell;
Hijacked four jet airplanes, to bring the Devil’s dire death knell!
.
Two headed to New York City, the World Trade Center’s their prey;
They thought they would kill multitudes, of Americans that day!
Two others were going to Washington, the heart of our democracy;
To destroy the White House and the Pentagon, bring America to its knees!
.
The first two hit each tower, about seventeen minutes apart;
But they had miscalculated their occupants, on their suicidal charts!
Of course, it was still a horrific tragedy, almost 3,000 lost their lives;
But they were aiming for 50,000, as their death instruments took their dives!
.
One of the other two never made it, brave people gave their lives;
And overtook the evil terrorists, into the ground, the plane then dived!
The other hit The Pentagon, 184 died in the aftermath;
The World watched in horror, with anger and rising wrath!
.
Not a person does not remember, where they were that fateful day;
Most were watching televisions, as they wiped their tears away!
America mourned for its departed, and prayed for quick revenge;
The deaths of all the innocents, to quickly be avenged!
.

                       Monsters came that day
                       To destroy Democracy
                        But made us stronger
