About the Poem
Publicized around the world, we all watched in horror. The ones that did this may have felt glorified. They may have even gloated. I am proud to say that what I saw rising out of the rubble was far more than anyone expected.
This poem describes what I also saw, aside from the horrific. What I hope they also see coming.
I Pray They See This Too! |
| by Rwood |
As it all crumbled In deafening rumble Glorified in the slow Motion of your strike But I also hope you saw Rising in the fog Of the disbelieving tragedy People Helping People No beliefs or boundaries Holding back the hands Emerging from a shattered land Holding each other up Tears remaining colorless Blood remaining red Bonds being made in the dust In trust of fellow man As we scream in harmony Of the pain Being all the same Except for you Be it known We have called all Captains of Life We will continue to pray And feel our way in Navigation By a much higher power Than yours that must slay it Your death sentence has made us stronger You have colored yourself a failure I pray you see it coming And have no where to hide. |

I think this poem is beautiful. I also have a poem I'm looking to put on here. This poem touched me very deeply. I cried. My uncle also died in the tragedy. Getting the phone call was the hardest thing I've had to do in my life. He was only 34. I still miss him dearly even though it's been almost three years. It's still very very hard. I can't blieve he died in such a tragic way. My heart will be broke forever. When I saw the towers on the news when I came home from school it felt like a dream. I instanly started to think about my uncle. Waiting for the news was very hard. This poem desrves 10/10. It's very well written. Well done!
