I Don't Know Why

A peom I wrote about the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

“I don’t know why”

Everyone’s crying;
I don’t know why.
The towers just fell;
They are no longer in the sky.

Everyone’s crying;
I don’t know why.
People are saying
Their loved one’s were inside.

Everyone’s crying;
I don’t know why.
People are dying.
Why God, why?

Everyone’s crying;
I don't know why.
I saw a plane fly by;
And then sky turned gray.

Everyone’s crying,
And I don’t know why.
