Sorry fellow poets, we've had so many thoughtful and expressive tributes to the horrors that described last week and I know mine will pale by comparison, but I felt compelled to speak in my own words, so bear with me if it is a little choppy, it has taken a while to bring myself to the point of expression. Lady Libertys' torch does still burn. A page in our historys freedom has taken a turn. Terrorism & destruction has a new face. Events even time can not erase. Amid death and debris, a single flag stands tall. A symbol of its presence to us all. Proof that even in times of devistation. Citizens stand united, a tribute to our nation. Our countries flag flying through in times of strife. A symbol to those heroes who have given their life. And as America faces this time with faith to renew. In this our toughest time, our flag still flys true. |
