4 SITES OF FIRE"
The world will long remember
four sites of agony;
from eleventh of September-
into eternity.
The mission came from terror groups;
to hi-jack and to kill;
destroy all our freedom roots
and break down our goodwill.
One target was the Pentagon,
our military home,
where from the blue an airplane flew
and crashed in as a bomb.
And targets were the towers tall
that rose in New York skies,
but those two giants began to fall-
when blown into demise.
The shock was devastating,
the scene was so surreal,
then came the news relating
to a Pennsylvania field.
Where crashed another aeroplane
when brave men overthrew--
the mad-men whom had evil aim
to kill the entire crew.
And heroes born aplenty
within that tragic day;
for at three sites rose many
with their courage on display.
And to these sites we'll cherish;
they'll live in infamy,
that it be known to terrorist--
they can't disturb the FREE!
