In New York’s Streets
(An adaption of In Flanders Fields)

''' In New York’s Streets as dust we blow

'''Between the buildings, row on row '''That mark the place; where’pon we died '''The motes, just softly sinking, fly

'''Scarce seen amid the death below.

'''We are now dead. Some years ago

'''We lived, saw dawn, and sunsets glow, '''We loved, were loved, but then we died '''In New York’s Streets.

'''Take up our battle with the foe: '''To you from now dead hands we throw '''The flag; that’s yours to hold up high, '''To guard the truths in which we pride. '''If ye break faith with us who died,

'''We shall not sleep, though dust still blows

''' In New York’s Streets. '''

Flight 93
Four jets were hijacked, three were misused, Fourth was not, on board heroes refused. Two towers fell, the Pentagon wracked. They heard the grim news, planned to react.

"Lets Roll", one said, we dare not fail, And stormed the cockpit with travail. Their lives were forfeit, but not one more, Human valour helped even the score.

Ninety Threes' heroes passed on rocky dell, But their names live on, heroic deeds tell. Carved deep on monuments, stories to dwell, The valiant live on, their names, known well, But forgotten terrorists, may rot in hell.
