Title: September 11, 2001 (poetry)
Post by Jewel on Sep 11^th, 2003, 7:39am

Painful Yesterday
We watched the sun come up that morning.
We watched the buildings burn and fall.
What seemed an ordinary day in life
was far from ordinary at all.
We saw people fighting for their lives.
We heard the crashing of the planes.
Too many of so many didn’t survive
the fatal fall and brutal flames.
Meanwhile, the dust is slowly settling
upon the distraught and dismayed,
heart to heart we come together--
hand in hand we stand afraid
How can we ever again be strong
with two flat towers and a broken Pentagon?
After innocence witnessing all this wrong,
just how are we supposed to carry on?

We must open our eyes
to that painful yesterday.
Knowing tomorrow we ‘ll find a place
to put our tears away.
And we must open our arms
to the children taken by.
We will sing their fears away
so they no more shall cry.
We now open our hearts
to the heros of this land
With the strength of God above,
hate will fall and love will stand

God is here and you will never be alone.
He will come for those who mourn.
God is here and you will never be alone.
He soon will come to bring us home.

September 11, 2001
Questions may be answered in time, and
Justice may come for all.
This land may someday recover, if
Freedom ever finds its way home.
Heroism will forever fill our souls with gladness, but
Nothing could ever fill this many empty arms.

The Day Our Country Cried
It’s 10:00 a.m....
Blood engulfs the east and
all the country is mourning
in disbelief to the unimaginable
Buildings upon buildings
Bodies upon bodies
The loud and so silent
sounds of our country’s heart
slowly breaking

Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness- for them
The spirits of the dead who stood
In life before thee- are again
In death around thee- and their will
Shall overshadow thee: be still.

From- SPIRITS OF THE DEAD... Edgar Allan Poe (CH)
