Buildings fell (like a planned implosion)
Citizens yell (Oh god help me, since my government did not)
Hearts sank (Have you seen...?)
People drank (alcoholism and drug use increased)
Children cried (Why do they hate us?)
Parents died (as did brothers, sisters, friends, spouses...)
Smoke arose (and could be seen for days)
Wolfowitz chose (to invade Iraq)
Panic dispersed (dust covering all in sight)
Freedom reversed (see: Patriot Act)
Government Lied (they knew we were in danger)
Terrorist pride (dancing in the streets of the Middle East)
Pentagon failed (they could not even protect themselves?)
Anthrax mailed (please return to sender)
Bin Laden free (and will be until he dies, or died)
Scientists agree (buildings collapse is suspicious)
Flags arose (everyone had them up, at least for a little while)
So the story goes...
