THE DAY THE EAGLE CRIED

THE EAGLE HAD AWOKE, TO GREET THE MORNING SUN, AND THEN TOOK TOOK TO THE AIR, TO FIND FOOD FOR HER YOUNG.

THE EAGLE SOARED HIGH, INTO THE MORNING SKY, NOT KNOWING IT WOULD BRING, SO MANY TEARS TO HER EYES.

AS THE DARKNESS OF NIGHT, SLOWLY FADED AWAY, NO ONE COULD IMAGINE THE HORROR, THAT WOULD COME THAT DAY.

AS THE EAGLE SOARED, SO HIGH IN THE AIR, AN EXPLOSION WAS HEARD, THAT GAVE HER A SCARE.

SHE THEN WENT TOWARDS, THE EXPLOSION SHE HEARD, AND AS SHE WAS APPROACHING, ANOTHER HAD OCCURED.

SHE LANDED UPON A CROSS, ON THE TOP OF A CHURCH, MAKING SURE SHE WAS STABLE, AS SHE SAT UPON HER PEARCH.

AS THE EAGLE SAT WATCHING, THE EVENTS THAT WERE UNFOLDING, SHE JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE, WHAT HER EYES WERE BEHOLDING!!

THE TWIN TOWERS WERE BURNING, LIKE TORCHES IN THE SKY, AS SHE SAT WATCHING, WITH TEARS IN HER EYES.

SHE SAW THE PEOPLE, WHEN THEY JUMPED TO THEIR DEATH, AND AS THEY HIT THE GROUND, IT TOOK HER BREATH!!

THIS WAS A HORROR THAT ONLY, THE WICKED WOULD CONCIEVE, AND THIS WAS A HORROR, THAT NO ONE COULD BELIEVE!!

SHE SAT WATCHING IN HORROR, WITH TEARS IN HER EYES, AND THE TEARS KEPT FLOWING, AS THE HOURS WENT BY.

IN NEW YORK, PENNSYLVANIA AND WASHINGTON D.C., TERRORISTS HAD STRUCK, FOR ALL TO SEE!!

THIS EAGLE JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE, THE HORROR AT HAND, AND SHE JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE, THAT TERRORISTS HAD ATTACKED HER LAND!!

THIS IS THE DAY, THOUSANDS HAD DIED, AND THIS IS THE DAY, THE EAGLE HAD CRIED.
