Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

How Could We Ever Forget

Remember September eleven
   How could we ever forget? --

With the Taliban we now plead
   We no longer contest the Houthi --

Terror mocks America's contempt
   for long-term memory

Alexis Y. September 13, 2021 at 10:48 PM Hi Gershon, You've penned a good verse in remembrance of that horrific day. Twenty years later and it's something that we can never forget-Alexis

Kim Rodrigues September 12, 2021 at 4:52 AM Sadly true. Makes no sense. Never Forget! Gershon Wolf September 13, 2021 at 11:31 AM You're right. It makes no sense that some can forget Sept. 11 within 20 years. They must have disposable hippcampuses in their brains. :) gw

Tom Cunningham September 11, 2021 at 8:07 PM A dark day for humanity Gershon, not only united Americans like Milton said but the whole civilised world stood with you. Tom Gershon Wolf September 11, 2021 at 8:14 PM And looking back, perhaps the greatest tragedy is how we've squandered that unity. Thanks, Tom

L Milton Hankins September 11, 2021 at 7:57 PM I don't think I will ever forget...and long for the national unity we experienced right after 9/11. Gershon Wolf September 11, 2021 at 8:15 PM Me, too. In retrospect, that unity was our greatest gift. If we had only treated it as such... ~ Spilled Milk, no use Crying
