Unbelieving Eyes

unbelieving eyes
glued to surreal images
death and destruction 
and an ashen aftermath
terrorism had hit home

Robert Johnson Date: 9/12/2011 10:17:00 PM Ten years later and it's still not real. How can we imagine just how we feel. The evil inside of our fellow man. Leaves us to deal with what ever we can. Login to Reply
