9/11/2024

Another 9/11 is upon us

It's the twenty-third one since 2001

The bell will ring precisely at the moment 

When all hell broke loose

And 2,977 of our loved ones died. 

It was a warm and sunny morning 

Much like today, with clear skies

When airplanes used as weapons

Invaded our skies, our lives. 

Destruction, unforseen, unfathomed

It matched the fires from the depths of hell.

All these years and forever after

We will recite the names of the ones we lost

Their destinies were interrupted 

By an evil hell bent on destruction 

No vengeance will ever match our loss

Virginia, New York, and Pennsylvania 

Where the planes hit and killed,

and the ground still bleeds 

It wasn't just those states affected

The ripples propagated far and wide

It almost feels like they also revealed

our future

The twenty-first century awash in war and blood

But, if we believe our loved ones did not die in vain

And they did not, for they were loved

And they were all loved, that I know

For they were born, and they walked this Earth

Then it's up to us, we must unite 

to turn the tide of the millenium

on the projectory to peace.

Let's turn the tide of our history towards 

Healing and civility and peace.
