ok. this is a poem. i wrote it for my world civ class. my teacher coach smith told us to write a poem or essay or song, anything as long as it related to 9-11 and he gave us the title why 9-11? so heres my poem.

the day is september 11
schools are still in session
3rd period they say something happened
it's on the t.v.
at first i thought it didnt matter
i saw the smoke
oh shit! the towers!
they're on fire! they're falling!
wiat my bestfriend and my families there!
dont fall! just wait!
stop it please!
i cried, i screamed, i shook with fear
then war
what is war?
damn it! im only 16
why kill for the race?
who's stronger and richer?
september 11
is our too real disaster
it's been one year since 9-11-01, now its 9-11-02
a year? already?
one year is too soon
so now we cry for this tradgedy
this war we fight with silent screams
this tribute to our fears
the eleventh of september
the american dream
