[hometext] => This is a re-submission, from when I was using a different name (shortly after Sept 11th, 2001). I think the time is appropriate right now to send it in again.
[bodytext] => The screaming of a jetplane, as it slams into the tower The flow of blood, as red as the cardinal flower The ranting of a madman, high on power The sorrows grow by the hour. Innocence lost, lives destroyed Nothing left to fill the void. Children crying, loved ones dying Humanity devoid. Loss of life World in strife And the sorrows continue to grow. The sorrows of many, combine into one As we turn our faces to the sun. We are no longer naive, of that we are stripped bare For the Beast has crept out of his lair. Loss of life World in strife And the sorrows continue to grow. Life will continue, of that we are assured It will no longer be as it once was, for as a nation, we have matured. We have seen first hand what hatred allows Violence, death, unholy vows. Loss of life World in strife And the sorrows continue to grow. Do not allow the hatred to fester in your soul For it will eat you alive, and make you unwhole. Loss of life - there will be rebirth. God has a plan, maybe not of this earth. World in strife - one day there will be unity. But humanity as a whole needs to act on that opportunity. Sorrows will always grow - that is beyond any doubt. Look to the past and let go, open your eyes to the future Embrace it with amrs wide open Do not lash out. For life is a gift Given freely from above Cherish it, treasure it. For it can be taken from us on the wings of a dove.

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. ©
