Notes About The Poem
This poem was written in response to September 11th, 2001.

Territory

Falling embers

Splintering lives and

Piercing memories

Rage begets rage.

Weeping mothers

Enraged brothers

Martyred fathers

Widowed sisters

Pushing ideologies

My way or no way

Twisted metal

Territorial markings

Of a beast.

Welcome to PS. I enjoyed reading your poems today. About the poet thing, you are a poet if you say you are. Keep writing and sharing your thoughts and feelings with your voice. I find reading other poets will often spur me into writing a little differently, but never just copy someone's work.
