3849 In a Pennsylvanian Field 29 November 2004 In a Pennsylvanian Field where the heroes lie today Of what they had prevented come what may Lives given for the sacrament of mankind The blood and body of savior resigned So have you forgotten about those brave souls Whose efforts were in a hope the world could stay whole Of a moment frozen into the grip of eternity Where in a Pennsylvanian field man triumphed towards maturity "dedicated to those brave souls lost to 9/11" © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares for my other works in honour of those heroes we lost http://www.poettothecars.com/nineeleven.htm |

Where in a Pennsylvanian field man triumphed towards maturity Oh how we need to understand this. Whatever else we learn from 9-11, we should learn this right along with it -- we grew, mankind grew, if only by a tiny increment....and civilization is such a fragile flower! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

I will never forget the writing of this poem, and how I had viewed a short news item on television and those words began to flow and one of those heroes was New Zealand born, some say he was one of the most important heroes there that day. thank you all for stopping by to comment a poet who cares |

Or as one man said, before it was chic to do so, "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." That's Barry Goldwater, who was mocked, because that was the easiest way to attack what couldn't be refuted. We could have lost the White House, or the Capitol Building....but we didn't, because some few of us were bold enough to prevent it. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ |
