HOW COULD I EVER FORGET 9-11?

Have only been to New York once
Son and future daughter in law
graduating from Georgetown University
Proud law and she a Doctor
I looked around at sights
Forefathers like so many--I know,
Landed at Ellis Island and became Americans
Took up residency in Staten Island
Leaving behind their home in Limerick, Ireland
In Opened eyes History came alive
The statue of Liberty the Twin Towers
Visited the tomb unknown those Veterans passed before us

It seemed only weeks later
We turned on our TV, 9-11 and the horror
Watched in disbelief the crashing of planes
The inhumanity of deaths of innocents
From ninety or more countries around the world
Murdered, fireman, first responded.
I immediately wanted to reenlist but too old
How could any human beings be that cold?
Do I remember 9-11 on this site my voice has been heard
I saw the twin Towers and saw them coming down
Having someone post it as fake news set me off
That the towers coming down fake news
A plot by our government to promote Waring
This man through reality is snoring
And any reality of truthful history ignoring
For standing up for Christians, Jewish friends
I might add any person who believes in peace
My poetry was messed with thrown off the site
Say what you want and threaten this is not right


I do not have a face book site to promote
So the treatment I got somewhat absurd
God Bless America and do not forget the servers of peace
And those who still serve this the greatest of countries
Bless our Veterans, Policeman, fireman, excuse the Politicians
Although there is no excuse,shame on the writers of fake news
Remember to bring a pencil so the questions asked
At Heavens gate when the elevator goes up or down
Is not made up garbage or the time has come you lose
For it is not the Christians or believers who well go to hell
It is those who make up fake news
It is up or down on the elevator you must chose
