Never again our 911 prayer

By JP DiTroia

Never again
caught by surprise
To the demise
Of many Americans

Never again I say
lurking ,lurking
at our door step
Waiting to strike again

Never again
be vigilant
See the signs
They may come again

Never again
guard we must
And trust
Our nation services

Never again
To lose so many
Mother’s father‘s ,sons ,daughters,
Brothers sisters grandparents

Never again
Too many
our nation’s heart torn apart
With tears of sorrow

Never again
Let us not forget
As we pray
For the souls far gone
