Times of the D.C. sniper
A little over a year ago I was there I knew the terror that the
community faced and felt wounded when each person was shot Locked in
the school Making zigzags in the parking lot Trying to make sure not to
get shot by the sniper Terrifying days, that I can recall in an instant
not getting gas for that whole month checking around for the "white
vans", stupid beliefs police officers looked so brave in these eyes
making sure all the school students got home safe, so no one would get
killed It was the topic of conversation everywhere, and near the end,
students started to think it was a joke but people lost loved ones
because of messed up minds
A new life
Growing Older Growing Wiser But wanting to stay the same Going back to
an easier time when you were learning the alphabet instead of 9 times 9
Being able to be held in the comfort of loved ones When wanting to grow
up so fast why didn't you take the time to live in then? Always the
future Always the dreams that will come true Not living in the time you
are, where everything is given to you
Instead, living on your own working the way you use to dream though not
fun at all
2 Years
2 Years have come and gone Have we learned? Since that terrifying day Everything has reasons for happening Did we make it that way? People still remember, As it's fresh in our heads When we heard the news We have been attacked People remember where they were All hugging and hoping for the lives inside Many heroes came out of that terrifying day Though most didn't know As they, the New York City's best Perished that day In trying to save the lives that were so quickly taken away How many lives are still being remembered after 2 years? Everything seems to be remembered of that day When Our Great Nation, changed in a major way Once allowed into the home of the country So quickly closed, People pushed away 2 years ago, Everything changed Once feeling invincible Now life is so remembered Calling loved ones, Where the attacks occurred Why couldn't we do that before? So much panic everywhere No one felt safe, as the sky with noise had none 2 years have come and gone Not remembered as much in the 2nd year Will we become under attack again? Are we ever going to learn?
