Where Were You When

We commemorate the tragedy of September 11, 2001 which has come to be called 9/11. I was at home listening to the morning news after being prompted by a friend to turn the television on. I could not believe my eyes. There was so much destruction all about. She remained on the phone with me but away from her television, trying to explain what had happened then before wy very eyes, not a replay, the news cameras caught a second plane as it pierce the second tower. One at 8.46 then at 9.02 obvious acts of terrorism as the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre were brought to the ground. But while the heart of the Financial System in America, in Manhattan remained in lock down, the Pentagon received another crash to its building at 10:06am

 

Where Were You When

 

With all the chaos and fear

Horrific happenings in the air

Explosion that brought the North tower down

Real debris thrown all around

Explosion again and the second Twin Tower fell

Were you there at 9/11 in that moment’s hell

Each person below running for their life

Ran as fast as they can, a husband and wife

Even older folk panicked with this tragedy

You never seen anything like this in all history

Our nation was again the first but this time with pain

Under the best of protection, terrorists can reign

With years of deception and shrouded right here

Here in the bowels of our country in that dreaded year

Eight years ago they changed how we go

Now any airplane above causes turmoil below
