A Prayer For All America
The whole world are crying out ' why?'
As we watched those planes leave the sky,
And cause so many innocent victims to die.
We stopped and stared, our eyes were glazed,
The nation was shocked, more so amazed,
But we were powerless as we all gazed.
The skyline was beautiful, powerful and tall,
We were speechless as we watched it fall,
Our hearts go out to one and all.
Revenge is wrong, but someone must pay,
Killing more, won't take the pain away,
But uniting together is the only way.
We won't let this happen any more,
Or it will lead to all out war,
You mark my words for sure.
So let the terrorists think that they've won,
While they laugh and cheer at what they've done,
Because this world WILL unite as one.
We'll give them a slap in the face,
As the buildings get put back into place,
And prove WE are the true HUMAN race.
