911

9/11/2001 A day of darkness The sky is gray all around me Ash falling down like snow Sirens screaming Frantically fumbling through the debris just to get free People crying in the streets Searching every face they meet Heavy hearts with tear soaked eyes A moment to think I’m alive How can I help? What can I do? Somehow we will make it through Altogether is how we stand many years on this precious land.

How quickly people responded with helping hands, how quickly some returned to complacency, nicely done, blessings, Carl
