The Day the Towers Fell : Ballad Poetry

written by Poet : louis_in_nc


We shall not forget this tragic day

Six years gone by yet focused still

When terror struck the USA

The day the towers fell

As we look back upon this day

Remember the sights, the sounds, the smell

Of a nation caught in disarray

The day the towers fell

The cowards who launched this deadly plan

Have been sought out from cell to cell

No matter where they hid and ran

The day the towers fell

An act of pure malevolence

Which caught the world within its spell

Against it we had no defense

The day the towers fell

With solemn thoughts and heavy heart

On this day our souls still dwell

The day our peace was torn apart

The day the towers fell

We shall not forget who passed away

Those hero’s we honor with praise and bell

Who gave their life for humanity

The day the towers fell

And though it was a tragedy

This day which was a living hell

The nation was reborn in unity

The day the towers fell

We showed the world we stand as one

With a single thunderous clashing yell

Announcing we won’t be undone

The day the towers fell

Louis
