The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, as well as more recent attacks in Madrid, Spain, and London, England, showed in a very tragic way just how vulnerable many areas of the world are to these sorts of actions.
9/11: A Day Of Infamy (Chain poem)
September eleventh is a day
Day of infamy that I'll never forget
Forget what with my horrified eyes I watched
Watched coming from my TV screen and that re-played
Re-played showing airplanes flying and hitting straight
Straight into the Pentagon and the Twin Tower buildings
Buildings all around just started to sway and fall
Fall and bringing around so much destruction and death
Death took so many by surprise
Surprise and horror was shown on all faces as we witnessed
Witness and faced before us all this horrible tragedy
Tragedy that filled our hearts with unbearable sorrow and pain
Pain as we saw all this unfolding before our very eyes as we cried
Cried as we watched in horror all this happening
Happening back then and nobody able to stop it that fateful day
Day of so much destruction and sorrow
Sorrow and loss that took place that September eleventh day
Day in which we saw innumerable heroic acts of faith and courage
Courage of spirit hope and love for many that faced death
Death and destruction on this very unforgettable
Unforgettable day September 11,2001

The Pentagon Was Bombed
the pentagon was bombed,
cruise missile, US made!
there was no wreckage from a plane!
the public has been played!
the pentagon was bombed,
it's so damn plain to see…
covert wet work, CIA,
next target, … you and me
the pentagon was bombed
the evidence is real
it proves that Nazis are in charge
how does that make you feel?
the pentagon was bombed
trade center was bombed too
high level ploy, to steal some oil
ain't it something we can do?
how many citizens must die
before the truth is told?
another holocaust is here….
this shit is getting old
the pentagon was bombed

Met Pet Goat While Twin Towers Burn
"9/11 justified
invasion Afghanistan?
really Taliban
zero hijackers
zero links
to al-Qaeda?
at the time
hijackers were Arab?
not Afghani?
President George W. Bush
failed nation America
ordered total no shot down"
9: 03 a.m. Bush no action partakes
in a meaningless primary publicity
photo-op ignoring responsibility
continental US is already under attack
at Emma E. Booker Elementary
School in Sarasota, Florida
Mr President beat around the Bush
is reading 'Met Pet Goat'
to school children
for five critical minutes
after he had been told
second World Trade
Center tower had been hit
that America was under attack
wait rewind "What's the time? "
approximately 8: 48 a.m.
morning September 11 2001
first pictures of burning
World Trade Center
are broadcast on live television
reporters news anchors viewers
have had no advance warning
"What has happened in lower Manhattan?
"So who did know? "
"Which national organizations
were all in the know? "
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)
National Military Command Center
the Pentagon
the White House
the Secret Service
Canada's Strategic Command
all knew that four
American commercial airplanes
had been hijacked
and President George W. Bush knew
they all already knew
that one plane had been
flown deliberately
into the World Trade
Center's North Tower
that a second plane
was wildly off course
also heading toward
Manhattan that a third
plane had abruptly
turned around over Ohio
was flying back toward
Washington, DC.
President Bush
assume command
lead the nation
"Do something? "
9: 03 a.m.
fifteen minutes
after it was clear
the United States
was under
terrorist attack
Bush still refuses
to face reality
assume command
President Bush
sits down
with a classroom
of second-graders
begins a 20-minute
pre-planned photo op?
in times of great
international crisis
decisive leaders
lead their nations
read 'Met Pet Goat'
while North Tower
burns people burn
postscript political
changed climate
after attack 9/11
few dared raise
challenging questions
about Bush's actions
one journalist said
Bush was "flying around
the country like a scared
child, seeking refuge
in his mother's bed
after having a nightmare"
another said Bush
"skedaddled"
both journalists were fired.
Bush administration
flexed muscle
finally fired back at
reporters reviewing inaction
no concise record
freedom of speech
investigation truth allowed
forget conspiracy theory
What are the facts revealed?
Facts? None of the hijackers
were Afghani from Afghanistan.
None had links to the Taliban.
None had links to Osama Bin Laden.
Facts? Alleged hijackers were all al-Qaeda.
All were Arabs from Arab countries.
None of these Arab countries were attacked?
Facts? 9/11 justified attacks on Iraq?
9/11 justified attacks on Afghanistan?
No hijackers originated in these countries?
Don't believe me? Check the flight lists.
American Airlines Flight 11
Hijackers: Mohamed Atta (Egyptian) , Waleed al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian) , Wail al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian) , Abdulaziz al-Omari (Saudi Arabian) , Satam al-Suqami (Saudi Arabian) .
American Airlines Flight 77
Hijackers: Hani Hanjour (Saudi Arabian) , Khalid al-Mihdhar (Saudi Arabian) , Majed Moqed (Saudi Arabian) , Nawaf al-Hazmi (Saudi Arabian) , Salem al-Hazmi (Saudi Arabian) .
United Airlines Flight 93
Hijackers: Ziad Jarrah (Lebanese) , Ahmed al-Haznawi (Saudi Arabian) , Ahmed al-Nami (Saudi Arabian) , Saeed al-Ghamdi (Saudi Arabian) .
United Airlines Flight 175
Hijackers: Marwan al-Shehhi (United Arab Emirati) , Fayez Banihammad (United Arab Emirati) , Mohand al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian) , Hamza al-Ghamdi (Saudi Arabian) , Ahmed al-Ghamdi (Saudi Arabian) .
Facts? A justified invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq,
is necessary based upon "geostrategic interests in the Mideast,
including pipeline plans launched in the early 1990s
by Unocal and other oil companies."
But president Bush has no links
to oil companies and US war production?
Or does he, no, surely not?
Justification invasions
needs Pearl Harbour scale attacks
Bush orders NORAD
To Stand Down.

Overload
A TERRIBLE SIGNAL
TOO WEAK TO EVEN RECOGNIZE
A GENTLE COLLAPSING
THE REMOVAL OF THE INSIDES
I'M TOUCHED BY YOUR PLEAS
I VALUE THESE MOMENTS
WE'RE ORDER THAN WE REALIZE
...IN SOMEONE'S EYES
A FREQUENT RETURNING
AND LEAVING UNNOTICED
A CONDITION OF MERCY
A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER
A VIEW TO REMEMBER
THE CENTER IS MISSING
THEY QUESTION HOW THE FUTURE LIES
...IN SOMEONE'S EYES
THE GENTLE COLLAPSING
OF EVERY SURFACE
WE TRAVEL ON THE QUIET ROAD

They question how the future lies

Airplan
Airplanes, airplanes fly through the sky with amazing speeds they fly, look out the window
At little world below it's amazing.Airplanes, airplanes look at them fly, they fly through
They clouds and wind. Some fly to London and some to war carrying survival supplies for
Their country. Some may die so others will survive.
Airplanes, airplanes aren't they amazing they help us every day and night.
Airplanes, airplanes so bird like in their manner.

Sonnet- Eleventh September,2001
That fearful day in September, naught one!
When rudely was America awakened;
Four giant ‘birds’ from sky came crashing down;
The world lay terrorized, shocked and threatened.
The World Trade Center simply disappeared;
Buried alive were thousands in seconds;
Billowing smoke, Noises and flames appeared;
The Pentagon was hit without funds.
The mighty nation no more felt secure;
The war against terrorism was on;
The threat was real for the world’s future,
As fear and pall of gloom afilled each dawn.
India was quick to respond to this call,
For success lay in involvement by all.

My wife had taken off on a plane. Two airplanes had crashed into the World Trade Center. I, of course, like any other person, felt potentially devastated, panicky a little bit.
