Read the following poem carefully:
Once there were two magnificent towers,
Where lived and worked so many of ours.
It took seven long years to build them straight ,
They stood near the Empire State.
This event happened on the eleventh of September,
It’s an occurrence that generations will remember.
Because thousands of people have died,
Not only of US, but the world’s pride.
Everyone saw with awe and fright,
Twin towers crash in broad daylight.
None quite knows what will happen now,
When ? Where ? And how ?

Who are devils in gentlemen’s pose.
Now let us all remove hatred and vice,
And let the world be happy and nice.
