In memory of Todd M. Beamer - United Flight 93 September 11/01 Amen - Let’s Roll! He did not know when he left home that day- September the eleventh,- fateful date, He’d have to battle terror in a fray With boundless evil and thus meet his fate. He’d dozed, then suddenly saw knives and fists About horrendous crime to perpetrate Flight ninety-three was manned by terrorists, And in the hands of evil incarnate. There had been screams at first and hardware flashed And then he met the frozen vacant stares Of pilots in their seats, throats deeply slashed And on the floor rolled bloodied passengers. He was uncertain as to what to do, And started the Lord’s prayer silently, Then with resolve got up for now he knew He had been called to throttle infamy. The plane must be deterred,- not reach its goal- It had swerved far from its determined route To hit the White House or the Capitol, And countless lives would soon be blotted out. “Deliver us from evil“- with these words And recommending unto God his soul- The fight was brief and on the tapes we heard Todd’s final battle cry” AMEN - LET’S ROLL! . .

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
