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 has indeed gone 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, in their wicked flaw…

Why Hell:
Terrible events that evil sprit has ordained…
has grasped, lies in wait and holds…
Why Hell?
A place to collect and hold those evil souls.

JL:
This was tremendously moving in its imagery and in its depth.  So very hard to relive those moments, yet you capture them with strength and honesty. Leveling the incredible pain with the moment.  You did really well with this.

Indeed, lest we forget.  I lost a lot of brothers and sisters that sad day.  Thank you for posting this, well done.
