Array ( [sid] => 35485 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => 9/11 - A day of despair [time] => 2004-02-18 22:34:36 [hometext] => Today in English we were given a topic to write a poem about, that topic was an American Tragedy, and everyone chose 9/11. [bodytext] => As I woke up on that morning
I walked out from my room half awake
My mom came rushing to me, a look of fright on her face
She told me in exclamation, The WTC Towers have collapsed

It was like a knife struck me,
I quickly raced to the living room
My eyes fell upon the TV
They widened in horrified shock

Confused I was, just a little
It took a while for me to figure out this horrible event
The news flashed with vivid headlines
The World Trade Center Towers have fallen,
I though about all those people, trapped in there

I fought back tears welling in my eyes
For all those people that perished, I wept for them
Families that lost a loved one,
Are forever shattered by the loss of family member

Our fearless heroes: The firefighters, the policemen & the volunteers
They come to the longed rescue of trapped people
People run all around, scared & covered in debris
The heroes charge into the fallen rubble,
Digging & searching for any sign of human life

That sad & woeful day of 9/11,
It will always be locked in our minds
It was an American tragedy [comments] => 2 [counter] => 148 [topic] => 8 [informant] => Crimson_Rose [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AmericanTragedy )
