The Towering Titans
Written By: Constable Ian McBride
Grampian Scotland Police (printed with permission)

Watching over the masses they stood tall
Steel and concrete made them strong
Little did we know that they would fall.

A mad man threatening peace
The order went out to shatter dreams
On that fateful day, unleashing a beast.

All was still, the day beginning
The world quiet and unassuming.
But then they came from out the skies
The silver birds with fiery eyes.
The people watched as they soared on high
Delivering death with the innocents cries.

The Towering Titans rallied to the call
The men in blue, they too stood tall
From far afield, other�s came
To look in horror and disdain.

The Towering Titans marched forth
Saving the innocents from Hell�s domain
But steel and concrete, just like skin and bone
Would fall asunder

The Towering Titan�s, who watched and protected
Crumbled and fell to a World�s yell
They gave their lives without a thought
To save their countrymen, they had fought.

But alas the Towering Titans fall
In dreams and prayers they stand tall.

Dedicated to all the heroes of 09.11.2001
