A Tragedy That Will Live Ever After

Heart of New York, pride of USA
World Trade Center is a history today
Towering twins was set ablaze
By calamity which was manmade
Not spared was the World's most secured zone
The renowned complex Pentagon
Morning activities were in motion
A tremor in the building caused commotion
Run for safety was in vain
An air strike has uprooted its vein 
Last efforts of rescue was just taking shape
Another Boeing crashed, confirming no escape
Helpless humans running helter skelter 
None to offer the dying, even a glass of water 
Thick black smoke blanketed the place
Giving finishing touch to the menace.

All of a sudden the loudest sound
The entire WTC was razed to ground
Crumbled like a pack of cards
A great creation of mankind built in years.

Pentagon was stormed
A place, which the World bowed
A challenge to the World's strongest Defence
Showing that terrorism is the worst nuisance.

People were seen evacuating the city
But thousands lie underneath oblivious to the widespread panicky
Terrifying, agonizing and heart breaking 
Everyone around had such a mixed feeling

No words to express the grief 
The incident shattered the mans belief
Terrorists are sadist it was well known
But such barbaric activity they never have shown.

They should be suppressed once for all 
Forced to live long
Without basic necessities like a fish out of the pond
Nearing their death yet so far
Everyday of their life, they must suffer
Thus setting an example for the human race
Terrorism is a nightmare, 
and not a means to resolve problems we face.
