Everything
Was so easy
Before I met you
Before I began to live
Before it all
Came tumbling down
By mans own hate
Destruction
The worlds demise
Kills.

Tears
Filled my eyelids
As I sat
And watched
Planes crashing
Buildings falling
Mass terror
And for what?

Was it really
So
So necessary
To kill so many
To make your point
Yeah
You hate us
But still
Was it?

So
Many children
Without mothers
And fathers
Dead
Because of you
But alive
In us
You can't kill
What you can't see
The words
They told their children
The memories
They'll never die
Never
They live on.

So true, very beautiful poem.
Lest not we forget.

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. ©
