What We Lost...

An attack of this magnitude was completely unforeseeable; and who thought that an unguarded city had to feel that sense of solitude... through an urealistic exodus so undiscernible, and later reclaim its struck territory! What we lost...is not the superb Twin Towers: the pride of the wealthiest nation on earth, towers that can be rebuilt in years; it's those lives that enmity cut short! And they tried to disorientate us, and disrupt our ingenuous and lively living by spreading unrest and choas with absurd and infernal thinking! This infamy is so ineffaceable from the mind of the unfoolish, fair and reasoning man with greater intellect... that it becomes so inexplicable; a shameful act not condoned by civilization, confirmed by unsympathetic sentiments! What we lost ...is truly irreplaceable by every imaginable remedy: its the worth, the comfort and the unbroken joy, which dazzled in the NewYorkers' eyes... making their days so livable! What we lost...is eternally carved out into those shining stones: bearing glorious names to withstand time itself1
