It is so sad and still we remember How the world stopped as we were Shattered by terrorists who wished to Destroy our spirit and success A nation formed by citizens from All the nations over the earth We were different but the same Our country was loved even in The midst of disagreements Many lives were lost in vain Many heroes were lost Many heroes survived, but With lives that were forever changed Why were we targeted? There are many thoughts on this We came together as a nation This closeness lasted for a while But then the normal political Feud presented; this was sadness But ego and the need to control prevailed We forgot the heroes and went to Afghanistan to defeat the oppressors We defeated the enemy and Tried to rebuild the country You can only do so much It is difficult to transform ways of life And ultimately you fail We lingered, and then went on to an Ill-advised war with Iraq We won and lost at the same time We left citizens of Iraq confused And dismayed and alone Terrorists collected and formed The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) Osama Bin Laden was eventually killed This while the then administration was Hell-bent on apologizing for America And doing everything possible to Destroy capitalism and transform Our great country into a Socialistic State They worked foolishly for the demise Of the America we all knew Twenty years later we watch and wonder Never forget 9/11/01 Stanski 9/12/2021 ^
