The World Weeps For You

Eleventh of September 2001,
America's nightmare has just begun,
Images of terror defy all belief,
Death and destruction, world wide grief.
Pictures of horror, the anger and sadness,
Uncontrollable weeping, the shock of this madness,
Lives taken instantly on a scale so great,
Families shattered that hope, pray and wait.
Firemen and policemen, the emotion is showing,
Death of their colleagues, big tears freely flowing,
The murder of so many, Fathers and Mothers,
Little children were slaughtered, sisters and brothers.
The World is in shock at this scene of such terror,
We weep for America, this unbearable horror,
A tragedy so wicked, you grieve not alone,
Our thoughts of revenge on an enemy unknown.
Trust all your allies, your neighbours and friends,
We will all fight together, we will make amends,
Evil shall not triumph over Nations so strong,
Our powerful forces can put right this wrong.
Terrorist cowards that were once filled with hate,
Now cower in terror at the prospect of fate,
Thousands of innocents in the towers that fell,
The monsters responsible will soon meet their hell.
