911

It was our fond name
Of the Make of the 100 capacity
Metal coffin transport
That carried us to school
Many perched on its unhinged metal doors
Rickety. Rusty. Smelly. Molue
Most of the body barely there

It was the code name
For classmates in secondary
The ones that came after everybody
And left before any of us do
An hour after teachings begins, out at lunch time
Dusty. Rustic. Uniforms different
Students, they barely were

Then, the 9th month as the 2 towers stood
Missing flights diverted of their purpose
Terror created screams in balls of flame
Lives engulfed by hate and passion
One then the other. Down. Bodies fell
Metal. Glass. concrete. Planes.

On the 11th day. Towers no more here
