Analysis of New York Is Crying



I see the event in the horizon
 Two planes have crashed into the WTC
 And another in the Petagon.
 Who would do such a thing?
 An evil so big
 it would cause a nation pain and tears
 New York is crying,
 And nothing can take the pain away.
 so many dead, so many injured.
 the death, and destruction won't stop until
 the capture of the terrorists.
 we wont stop until they are caught.
 Our nation won't stop until it is finished.
