Sta.sh
The Empire State Building stood up feeling great,
It was the tallest building in New York State.
Other buildings awed at its appearance,
Others filled with envy deep inside.
The Empire State Building was full of itself
It had too much pride.
But the fame didn’t last long, a new visitor arrived,
A new building so modest caught everyone’s eye.
The Empire State Building felt quite upset,
For all the attention it would
no longer get.
The Twin Towers came in and now took its place
as the tallest towers in New York State.
The twin Towers were so tall
And stood side by side.
They seemed so humble and kind inside.
Anger burned up in the old building,
It built up more and more.
Never was there another building
That was better than it before.
But the twin Towers were there,
And they were there to stay,
But the Empire State Building
just wanted them away.
Years went on and the Twin Towers were still around,
The Empire State Building still felt jealous
And kept its feelings sound.
It tried to think of different ways
to plot those buildings’ doom
so it could finally, once again
regain its fame back soon.
But suddenly,
Unexpectedly
Came the Twin Towers’ fate.
It all happened as quite a surprise
To all in New York State.
The Empire State Building watched the whole scene
(it had the best view of all.)
It watched the Towers go up in flames
Until they began
to fall.
Ashes and smoke were found everywhere
It left a treacherous mess.
No one could save the Towers now,
For they too were in distress.
The Empire State Building
Tried to turn away,
Until the Towers were no longer there,
And rubble was left to lay.
After witnessing such a horrifying scene,
The tallest building now,
Felt guilty
cruel
and mean.
How haughty it had been
Throughout all this time,
Never did it think
The Twin Towers
Would
actually
Die.
