A Memorial Poem for the victims of the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks of September 11, 2001
The world spins slowly on the finger of time
As on a sunny day a storm cloud looms
Over goliath icons standing high
Towards them stolen eagles fly
And we sing the black sky blues
A fireball fills the jet-scarred sky
People jump into the thickening gloom
Towers crumble before our eyes
On television screens in every room
As we feel the black sky blues
A city fills with frightened cries
As heroes rush to quell the fumes
An entire country is asking why
Innocent people continue to die
We�ve got the black sky blues
And now an angry country lies
A giant awakened by painful news
Ready to strike once the sorrow subsides
But for now we mourn with saddened eyes
As we live the black sky blues
