Array ( [sid] => 9499 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => 9.11: One Beating Heart [time] => 2002-12-31 02:20:00 [hometext] => This poem is concerning the tragedy that took place on September 11, 2001. It describes my feelings on the horrific events and my views on how I feel it changed our nation. [bodytext] => I wasn't here for World War I
I heard the losses weighed a ton
I didn't see World War II
I'm sure the losses were more than a few
But on the eleventh of September 2001
Alot of lives were taken that weren't quite done
Those killers hit on our home soil
Now our population lives in turmoil

Wars cause change
That is different and strange
Instead of ripping us farther apart
Our country now operates as one beating heart
From the redcross and the nurses
Aiding victims with the doctors
To the thousands of brave firefighters
Rushing the building to save the mothers and the daughters
From the children crying in the playgrounds
To the US fighters that are airbound
From the sad speeches made by the President
To the last words of the 787 flight attendant

Each person was affected
From the commoner, to the rich, to the publically elected
Together we all cry
For the many whom have died
And together we will fight back
Against this deadly terrorist attack [comments] => 2 [counter] => 254 [topic] => 8 [informant] => Lauren [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AmericanTragedy )
