The Shocking News

In school I awaited

For the bell to ring

But instead, at 9:30 A.M.

I got a call to gather my things

I didn't know why

They were checking me out

But I knew something was wrong

Without a doubt

I heard the terrible news at about 9:15

That the Twin Towers had been hit

For that moment I was still

But then I threw a fit

I stayed home for the rest of the day

Mostly watching the news

What they did to America

Will make us never lose

They may have won the battle

But they will never win the war

They just made us stronger

Than ever before
