Jack's 9/11 Journal Entry

Now in college Jack wondered what he wanted to do with his life. Maybe he wanted to become an archaeologist or maybe even a historian. Those two things seemed to be promising life prospects. Suddenly something on the tv caught Jack's attention. Turning around in his chair Jack watched as two planes crashed into the twin towers. Jack felt sorry for all the people on the plane; including the ruthless killers despite the fact that they valued their lives more than their own. Then Jack had couple of ideas for poems to remember the day.

The Pentagon Poem

A five sided pentagon

Hence its name it saved many lives

Despite the fact the devastation to one wall

All on fire blackened and burned and already crumbling to the ground

Everyone all in a daze wondering what the heck just happened

Hours on everyone realizes you've lost some of your own

Because a plane with even more souls on board

Took everything that happened to their grave

There were many words left unsaid that horrible day

Their loved ones will always carry anguish and pain on their souls

Wondering why all of this happened

And would God ever relief the pain on their hearts

Would he forgive the killers who caused them all this pain

Probably not because those evil people had no heart

They had no soul they only cared about themselves

A 911 Poem

Standing ever so tall in the New York skyline without a care in the world

The twin towers ever so high in the sky

Us New Yorkers minding our own business

But that all changed when two planes came and flew into them

And then they came tumbling down

Shattering the lives of many families and friends

The bad terrorists took something from us that we can never get back

May the victims of the twin towers rest in peace

And continue to watch over each and everyone of us

Flight 93

It's the flight that fought back with everything that they had

Despite looking death in the eye

They welcomed it because if no one could save them

Then they were going to fight back to save other innocent lives

A 9/11 at School Poem

A school full of kids

All laughing and kidding around

Until the loudspeaker comes on and says two planes hit the twin towers

Then everything and everyone goes silent not a sound could be heard

Pain and Strength

September 11th is a day that will never go away

Tears are shed and hearts ache

As we watched the two planes crash into the north and south towers

As well as the Pentagon and crashing into the ground in Pennsylvania

But year by year we come together to remember what happened

And share our never ending heartache

But we gather whatever strength we have left to catch the bad guys

Even if it takes something like eleven years

But the war is still ongoing for the last fifteen years

That caused our never ending heartache

And hopefully our hearts will begin to heal

Wiping the sweat off his brow Jack closed his notebook. After pouring all his heart and soul into those poems; even while writing at one point Jack felt like he had a deep connection with those who died. Jack then turned the tv off to have a moment of silence for all those who died.
