Bittersweet September

Sensational shockwaves of fall, 2001 witnessed world trade struck cold. As its backdrop collasped, we trembled in a sea of misgivings untold. Brilliant aftershocks arose then in quick pursuit though nation’s nerves were pained. Countless rich outgiving, volunteer champions committed, unconstrained. Into unplowed soil of cowardly destruction bounteous seeds were sown freely without thorns of selfish gain or glory. Faith bloomed - distrust, overthrown.
