[hometext] => Written about WTC
[bodytext] => I can never again be the same way Never again, not after today One tower fell, many tears were cried The other went down, almost 3,000 died No, I wasn’t there, I didn’t see The horrible sight, the flying debris My heart broke in some 3,000 pieces, one for each person gone And one for our nation that remains strong For we did not deserve such a terrible fate Yet still I refuse to let myself hate Our towers are gone but our flag still flies! Oh, Dear God hear our nations cries! Let the young and the old The weak and the bold The black and the white The wrong and the right Break dividing walls And dismiss each other’s flaws United we will be Our nation’s freedom will still ring! Together we will stand Claiming freedom for this land Freedom from hate, freedom from terror One nation united we declare! “Help these people!” One fireman cried While trying to make hungry flames subside So many lost, a need to cry So many questions, such as why? So many hurt, so many to mourn So many hearts broken, shattered and torn Fear now consumes a part of us all Fear in some for, great or small So never again can we be the same way Never again, not after today When I look around all I see Is such division between you and me But now I realize a change must be made All this division must now fade We bleed the same blood and breathe the same air Now let us all love, let us all care Let us be changed from our selfish ways Let is appreciate all of our days Let us remember 9-11-2001 Yet be thankful for the day that’s just begun This is my last and final plea Let us love America, home of the brave and free -Amanda Bentley [comments] => 2 [counter] => 384 [topic] => 28 [informant] => Amanda_Interrupted [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Patriotic )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
