5 years later

The World Trade Center
gone up in smoke
A nameless fool
took what we hold sacred
Countless dead
changed our lives forever
our freedom temporarily taken
along with the lives
that will never be forsaken.
So, unpredicted,
nothing ever planned
we were so secure
with our present beings
that it never crossed our minds
that we were the ones under attack
5 years later
our pasts are changed
our futures corrected
only 5 years later!
