Lest We Forget


9-11-01:
Confusion, Disbelief, and Dismay:
Rumbling of engines explosions and fears…
as alarms and sirens blast in their ears.
Some moving away, with non-quenching stares…
others run in, and up to the top of the stairs.

9-11-01:
Perplexity and Disarray:
Some said they saw pink dust…
Bodies smashed and demolished and crushed …
While others saw gray ghost mulling around…
becoming part of the rigid and tormented ground.
Bodies floating out of windows like debris…
alone to their death they fell to be freed.
Their loved ones frozen in horrid pain…
some saying the world is indeed insane.

9-11-01:
Butchery and Irresolute:
What monsters this human man has become…
like beast feverously focusing on what next can be done.
To destroy in the name of God, and seek pleasure in their cause…
Absolute distortion is their wicked flaw…

~~
Why Hell?  Why Lake of Fire?
Terrible events that evil spirit has ordained…
has grasped, lies in wait and holds…
Why Hell?  
A place to collect and contain those evil souls.

I doubt we can forget.
What a powerful write ...
you left me speechless
with the memories.

JL, that was so horrifically vivid, that it brought it all back to me as if it were yesterday.

Yes, "Lest We Forget".

Love, Harmony, and Peace,

EA

This day in history no one will ever forget.  I surely hope the healing will continue in New York, and America as a whole.
