"Why Did They Do It?" - Robert Zielinski

The sun is crying, covered with dust;
Why did they do it; why did they do it?

The sky is contaminated with all their remains;
Why did they do it; why did they do it?

Who do we see to ask why this happened?
Why did they do it; why did they do it?

How do you explain to a child who questions why?
Why did they do it; why did they do it?

They came out of hate from what they've been taught;
Why did they do it; why did they do it?

The world has gone crazy; hatred prevails;
Why did they do it; why did they do it?

Splintered pieces of steel like giant javelins in the sand,
Why did they do it; why did they do it?

Two burning buildings forever etched in our minds,
Why did they do it; why did they do it?

May they all rest in peace and forever be remembered;
Why did they do it; why did they do it?

Why did they do it? Too late to question why,
May we never forget Nine-Eleven-O-One,
And forever pray for all of those who died.
