WORLD TRADE CENTER
once upon a time...
i was standing tall
majestic & proud,
powerful & serene,
a beacon of hope
amidst a bustling city.

then came the millennium
9 months and 11 days later
the world had witnessed
as the demons
stabbed me from behind

not just once but twice
i was wounded
trying to hold on...
fighting to stand tall

grief & anger
chaos & destruction
the pain i  just
could not bear.

soon i came tumbling down...
an eternal road to perdition
i am now but a rubble
yet my spirit soars up
above the sky.

i will never be forgotten,
this city...
this great nation...
and this world,
will forever remember

...amidst a bustling city
where i once stood.
