911 on 9/11

A day filled with emergencies,
Urgencies,
Insurgencies,
Divergencies.

A day to remember
Friends and family members
Among the embers
On the 11^th of September.

9/11, 24/7

16 years ago today in September
An evil, senseless, heartless act
Changed many lives forever.

Alas, it was not the beginning
Nor close to the end, it just keeps spreading;
The endless taking of human life,
There is no reason.

Prance with arrogance, respect becomes a speck.

[In memory of 9/11]

A series of dire events . . .

Broad daylight
Turned dark
Nightmare shock
Impossible
Among the rubble
Heaps of bloodied flesh
Panic crash

Remembering the sorrow
Hope for tomorrow . . .
