Hi, I am Alihob Gilman and I am 14 years old. I have been writing since I was able to pick up a pencil. Although, it probably was around 5th grade when I started more detailed writing. I have many obsessions, but my strongest right now is The Phantom of The Opera. I also enjoy

Written on September 11, 2011

10 years after the frightful attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

A fourth plane aimed for the White House was taken back over by the passengers and crashed in a nearby field.

On September 11, 2011, 10:28 AM the Twin Towers were no longer

10 years since the air was stained black with smoke

Nearly 3,000 people were killed

On September 11, 2001, Downtown Manhattan was white with ash

10 years since our men and women risked their lives to save those who were trapped

War was declared in all the hearts of the people of America

On September 11, 2011, a memorial stands

10 years

A decade

A beginning for some

An ending for others

Can't see nothin' in front of me

Can't see nothin' coming up behind

I make my way through this darkness

I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me

Lost track of how far I've gone

How far I've gone, how high I've climbed

On my back's a sixty pound stone

On my shoulder a half mile line

Come on up for the rising

Come on up, lay your hands in mine

Come on up for the rising

Come on up for the rising tonight

Left the house this morning

Bells ringing filled the air

Wearin' the cross of my calling

On wheels of fire I come rollin' down here

Come on up for the rising

Come on up, lay your hands in mine

Come on up for the rising

Come on up for the rising tonight

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Spirits above and behind me

Faces gone, black eyes burnin' bright

May their precious blood forever bind me

Lord as I stand before your fiery light

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

I see you Mary in the garden

In the garden of a thousand sighs

There's holy pictures of our children

Dancin' in a sky filled with light

May I feel your arms around me

May I feel your blood mix with mine

A dream of life comes to me

Like a catfish dancin' on the end of the line

Sky of blackness and sorrow (a dream of life)

Sky of love, sky of tears (a dream of life)

Sky of glory and sadness (a dream of life)

Sky of mercy, sky of fear (a dream of life)

Sky of memory and shadow (a dream of life)

Your burnin' wind fills my arms tonight

Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life)

Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life (a dream of life)

Come on up for the rising

Come on up, lay your hands in mine

Come on up for the rising

Come on up for the rising tonight

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
