September 11,2001 Poem by Gordon Jackson

Look what someone has gone and done,
Turned two buildings into none.
The Pentagon was the next one hit,
Will this nightmare ever quite?
Who would cause such death, destruction and pain,
What kind of animal would fly that plane?
The pain in our heart does weight much,
But our pride and courage you did not touch.
You see our tears and you see our sorrow,
Learn from this, it's your turn tomorrow.
You may have changed the shape of the skyline,
But you did not change the shape of our mind.
We have all come together and we are strong,
And you will pay dearly for your horrible wrong.
We all have heard that 'Revenge is sweet',
Remember that; when the debris is at your feet.
You gained nothing more than taking the lives,
Of our Brothers, Sisters, Husbands and Wives.
You did not break our spirit or our faith in God above,
For he will bless America with his power and his love.
All America will pull together, in our hour of need,
And we will overcome your sick, hellish deed.
You achieved nothing, whatever your foolish goal,
And you can rest assured, we will prevail,
And then 'May God Have Mercy On Your Soul'

(Dedicated to all of those who lost their life in this tragedy and to the Police Officers, Firemen and Volunteers who have helped to keep
America, America)
