I WROTE THIS POEM AT ABOUT 1:00 AM ON SEPTEMBET 12TH 01.

NEW YORK WENT UNDER DESTRUCTION
NOW THE WHOLE WORLD CANT FUNCTION
CAUSE MANHATTENS UNDER NEW CONSTRUCTION
PULLING SURVIVING AND DIEING BODIES FROM THE RUBBLE
WHILE NEIGHBORHOOD BUILDINGS ARE STARTING TO BUCKLE
UH-OH AMERICA'S IN TROUBLE
2 MAJOR BUILDINGS COLLAPSED THAT DAY
WHILE I WRITE THIS I SHAKE MY HEAD IN DISMAY
THE PENTAGON HALFWAY FELL APART
SHOULDVE KNOWN THIS WORLD WAS MESSED UP FROM THE START
SAD THING TO SAY BUT
WHAT TYPE OF HUMAN BEING WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
AS I SEE THE T.V. I SIGH TSK-TSK-TSK
WHEN THEY HIJACKED THOSE 4 PLANES IT WAS ATTENTION THEY TRIED TO ATTRACT
NOW SOMEONE HELP CAUSE AMERICA'S UNDER ATTACT
YEAH ITS A FACT JERUSELUM HAD A PARTY
CELEBRATING AND STUFF WELL TRYING
WHILE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WATCH THEIR T.V.'S CRYING
CAUSE THEIR FELLOW YANKEES ARE DIEING
OR ALREADY DEAD
WHY COULDNT THEY JUST ASK FOR AN EXCHANGE OF MONEY INSTEAD?
