Stand United Poem by Ally Barnett

I felt such pain from so far away
When our big brother U.S. was hit that day
Nothing I could do or say
Just sit tight ‘Down Under’ with hope, as I pray
Tall buildings crashed; there was fire, and blood
I watched with horror as the tears of mine flood
Your country so peaceful, deserve this you don't
Peace will stay with you and terrorism won't!
Such a cruel viscous act as our world takes a breath
While those Suicide Bombers plunge planes to their death
Your people all run, and scream as they call
In a puff of black smoke those tall buildings just fall
Families were torn, as the children cry
And I look up to God and scream out why? !
The innocent people, loss of life
One's dear husband and another’s loved wife
Though you still stand tall like Australia's Ayres Rock
And rally together to get over the shock
But I know you won't falter, I know you are strong
I know our big brother will seek out the wrong
Like statue of Liberty, you will stand tall
And together we’ll stand, all for one, one for all
This terror won't cause our brother to fall!
