Rise above the dust

In Rememberance of 9/11

America the beautiful
America the free
expected to fall
Because of senseless tragedy

When the twins,
fell to their knees
Many people died,
Never saw it coming
Families left behind.
They are the Victims.

Then there are people,
Who put themselves in danger,
who sacrificed themselves,
jumped into the fray
hoping to help those in need
Offering they're lives Unselfishly
They are the Heroes.

Then the clouds
covered the city,
as the twins fell in defeat.
Lady liberty cried that day,
but still stood proud and tall,
Still holding her beacon with pride.
She is our Guidance.

Freedom feels like prison
and, we feel everything has a price
but let us, still stand tall,
united, we cannot be defeated. 
"One nation, Under God, Indivisible"
Let there be liberty and justice for us all.
