Morning of Mourning
Written by: James Krolik

America,
Land of the free,
Home of the brave.

Life forever changed when the heavens over New York City were set ablaze.
The earth trembled with questions of uncertainty: Who? How? And Why?

A modern ballistic of war, hijacked and shot into the heart of the world.

Land of the free; a term long used, but with meaning long forgotten.
Home of the brave; the valiant rushed to redeem the lives of the damned.

Tower one fell, bringing with it the feeling of a country long believed secure.
Tower two fell, taking with it the freedom our forefathers fought mortally for.

With a vengeance, leaders set out to find the commander of the martyrs from hell.

America,
Land of the melancholy,
Home of the scarred.
