Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

September 11, 2014

Remembrance of a tragedy 
touches the souls of all of us 
Death came to innocents as terror 
from the skies struck 
Remembrance of a tragedy 
today 
The names of the fallen 
resound on the media 
Thirteen years ago we saw the face of death in these states
A heinous scene was perpetrated on our soil 
Suicide attack 
   and America knew horror 
Magnificent structures 
reduced to rubble 
The story of man's inhumanity to man 
is a long one 
   The world is still full of strife 
Let us remember the fallen 
and pray for better days

Kelly Deschler September 14, 2014 at 12:47 AM Our entire country was just shaken to it's core on that day. The fear was overwhelming and we never thought that pain would go away. But, I think those wounds have begun to heal, though none of us will ever forget the tragedy of 9/11.... Your words are very moving, Matthew. This is a great tribute to those innocent people who were lost that day, and who deserve to be remembered.
