I want to take a moment to remember the fallen on September 11th, 2001. I have written quite a few memorial poems for this date, however as my mind is strained with work, I am pulling one I wrote some years ago. I only wish this country could come together like they did following the events of that day. I PRAY we can someday become ONE nation, under God, again...
A single column leans,
the first wall has fallen.
In the grim dark streets,
people begin to crawlin,
In a horrid cloud of dust,
so many loved ones lost.
As the events unfolded,
no one could know the cost.
The majestic New York skyline,
will never be the same.
The towers are now gone,
extinguished like a flame.
Could it be an accident?
Sadly, we would learn,
much to our dismay,
intentional, the towers burned,
3000 people on this day,
would gasp for their last breath.
The cloud where once the towers stood,
now takes the shape of death.
The streets are filled with heroes
the survivors, aimless, roam,
Responders saved all they could,
Jesus took the others home.
The souls that gained their wings,
years later we still remember.
The travesty that slammed this nation,
on the 11th of September!
