Two towers,

Standing with pride,

When destructed,

America cried.

We were so blind with smoke and shock,

This renewed our fear of what we forgot.

This was a chance

To weaken our land.

But we stood up,

And fought with our flag in our hand.

Based on the horrid events that occured on 9/11, but it shows to the world how America will join together in times of need.

"At this moment, there are 6 billion, 4 hundred, 71 million, 8 hundred, 18 thousand, 6 hundred, 71 people in the world. Some are running scared.. some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day.. others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good, and some are good.. struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world, 6 billion souls -- and sometimes.. all you need is 1."
