A normal Tuseday, parents go to work,
but in 4 airplanes, some people have this funny smirk.
They decide to take over their planes, and no one knew,
175, 93, 77, and 11, planes that should of never flew.
As neighbors, moms and dads, and family go to work on this day,
All of a sudden, flight 11 brough death from a war far away.
Heroic Firemen and Police tried to save the people in this "accident",
but no one would call it an accident 20 minutes later...
Flight 175 came along, and as the world watched, smashed into the south tower,
The explosion was so great, It just seem to devour,
But little would I know,
That a cousin of mine would not be comming home.
Then they decide to go bold, and take flight 77 to the White House,
thank god they didnt see it,but sadly they attack the Army's House.
An Uncle of mine was there, but now he won't be comming home.
But those terrorist arent done yet with this show.
They took over flight 93, the last of the four,
but the people on the plane would not take anymore.
They took back the plane before it could hit the Capitol in DC,
There, it crashed right into my neighbors yard.
This all happened because we are free,
but as always, freedom is not free,
3,000 people died that day, all citizens,
while 2,500 died in pearl harbor, and 8 were citizens.
The military went on code red, The president in the air,
Nuclear weapons armed and ready, to fire when declared,
America would never be the same again, EVER,
it will be like B911 and A911, before 9/11, and after 9/11
But america got up again, and found its enemy,
We realized who they were, and made them our arch enemy!
Missiles fly everywhere, Bombers drop what the terrorist deserve,
Remember people of america, They started the whole thing!
And now, as the 7th anniversary comes around,
Remeber people of america, do not frown.
Think of what has happened in all those years.
America is no where near safe, but now, we know the danger.
GOD BLESS THE USA!

Poem actually don't have to rhyme. If you haven't noticed, most of mine don't. Sometimes rhyming can be forceful and make the poem choppy and not worth reading.
Didn't the 2nd plane crash 8 minutes after the first?
I love your 3rd stanza. It flows very well.

IMF/World Bank
the standard IMF/World Bank policy package which calls for slashing government spending, privatization, and opening up countries to exploitative foreign investment, among other measures -- has deepened poverty around the world. In the two regions with the most structural adjustment experience, per capita income has stagnated (Latin America) or plummeted (Africa). Structural adjustment has also contributed to rising income and wealth inequality in the developing world. just a few that we corrupt or try to corrupt...
IMF/World Bank "debt relief" for poor and indebted countries is a sham.
Many poor countries must devote huge portions of their national budgets to paying back foreign creditors -- often for loans that were made to or for dictators, wasteful military spending or boondoggle projects. The money used to pay back debt subtracts from essential expenditures on health, education, infrastructure and other important needs.
the entire thing is a sham .. i'm not going to speculate on if terrorist were behind 9/11 or not but ask yourself if you believe a rag tag organization like al queada could pull of such an event ..
and anyone who reads this great wirte should look into the IMF/World Bank and the federal reserve .. making monies out of nothing.. inflation can only rise .. and it has done so since the reserve started

..................
uhh...yeah, its actually easy to do that...
learn to fly, get on a big plane, fly it into a building, simple as that! -

not quite that simple..
Prior to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, all 19 of the terrorists had been living in the U.S. for several months, some for more than a year. They obtained visas, signed apartment leases, shopped, prayed at mosques, rented cars and bought airline tickets.
Could they have done so — especially those who did not speak English — without help from American citizens?
It seems to me that there was some other support mechanism there did that support mechanism know what these individuals were going to do? We don't know. But I think there was something here in the United States they relied upon.
Nawaw al Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar were among the first four al-Qaida members Osama bin Laden chose for the plot these men were in the states for quite awhile before the attack even though they were on the fbi's list of hostles... in short they had to have american help on some level. perhaps even the state level
