United - In Honor of 9/11

United we stood, 

together we grieved

all those many years ago.

So long ago, 

yet not forgotten,

we watched frozen in 

place, in our homes,

at  work and 

even at school, 

as the unthinkable happened 

on our soil. 

Many died, 

many lost those they

loved, 

in the name of religion, 

in the darkness

of hatred that surrounds 

the views of few,

While the dust cleared

the bodies were buried, 

as a country we 

showed 

that no matter what 

you do to us, 

together we stand

together we fight

and together we show honor for 

those who died and 

to those who fight to protect our country. 

Our country stands, 

even when chaos 

reigns, 

and not matter what you do

America will fight

to protect their rights, 

their freedoms and to help those 

who are weaker than we. 

America the beautiful, 

the proud 

and even stronger today

for all 

that you threw at us

on the fateful day 

on Sept 11, 2001. 

We will never forget, 

we will never back down

and as a country, 

we will always stand united

against  those that 

try to 

take away our freedom 

and rights! 

Whether we are white or black, 

Regardless of our religious backgrounds or

from another cultural background, 

those that call America home

those that believe in the 

Constitution and the 

rights of humanity, 

We are America 

and we are 

united, today, tomorrow 

and forever.
