Remember 9/11
The explosions were horrific.
To outrageous to be real.
The unbelievable destruction
And the twisted steel.
The useless loss of life.
It made the world stand still.
When terrorists can strike.
And at their discretion kill.
To the fallen heroes and volunteers.
We stand up and give 3 cheers.
To the victims we will honor forever and a day.
We fall to our knees and pray.
The safety of freedom is growing thin.
The flag is more than a banner in the wind.
Soldiers have died protecting her honor.
Civilians have perished and children dis-honored.
So stand up tall and be brave.
Respect your ancestors in the grave.
Wave the flag as high as you can.
And be ready to fight before they strike again.
God bless America!

amen, KidRic
I second that amen.
Beautiful poem Ric.
The only sad part is that we've destroyed many lives who had nothing to do with 9/11...
I DO remember our soldiers and those who perished on 9/11 - I pray for them everyday.
I don't know what the solution is, the only thing I can do is pray for peace.
The-Ever-Talented-Kid-Ric,
I can't believe it was that long ago. That image of the towers falling is now an icon, and unfortunately it's starting to suffer from as much mass-reproduction-desensitization as the Mona Lisa. 'Tis a pity. (So thankyou for not putting up an image.)
The loudest statement was made by the hollow thuds of bodies hitting the atrium ceiling, below. Have you seen that footage? What fragile things we are. Impermanent, but persistant.
