Time keeps marching on...

[waterofthemoon]

In honor of the day, I'm (re)posting a poem I wrote almost five years ago, just days after the WTC attack. I was a junior in high school at the time.

rescue 911

september eleventh
a day that shall live in infamy
national monuments destroyed
burning rubble
broken dreams
in the streets of opportunity
terror, horror, panic
fear
when will this nightmare end
strangers band together
a new hope rises from the ashes
american spirit
pick up the pieces
life goes on

I hope everyone had a good day and was able to remember (or not) in whatever way they needed to.
