[hometext] => This is a poem I wrote about the attacks on September 11th 2001.
[bodytext] => The world could not see, as a man walks, Surrounded by a cloud of curiosity At the rubble beneath his feet. Dust in the air chokes the survivors, But the man did not choke. His sadness spilled over the land. He saw the smoke and felt the fear As he stumbles over the slaughter ground. It is like war. Except - these people had no chance to fight back. Now they are gone. A white glow fades and his footfall comes heavily. A lone tear tracks down his face but he does not wipe it away. It is like love. His hand reaches out, and he can feel the anguish And he can hear the screams On a cold day. He does not understand. It is like hatred. Some see what others do not. Some help when they are needed But he was not there to help. He was not there to answer their calls. That is guilt [comments] => 2 [counter] => 219 [topic] => 48 [informant] => errious [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
