September Morn

I saw the flames
And I wandered
The streets

Saw the father
Cradle his child
In disbelief

Empty eyes stare,
Filling the land
Moments of terror, defeat

Mothers, sisters, brothers

Desperate
Some lost, some looking
Some dead, some living

While far away in another land
Braggarts cheer
In ignorance, conceit

I bear this burden, lost comrades
Ashes of futile hatred
Cover my feet.

by Elly

 

This one was from a challenge at Harmony Pub yesterday to find an inspirational line in another poets poem and write a poem from it. I chose the first line which was written by Bryan.
Thanks for reading friends.

Great write.

This kind of thing repeats itself over and over doesn't it?

We often forget our fortune in security and serenity until it is struck down.

We do as humans do best, take things for granted....


Well done.. ; )

Keep em comin.

Yes it keeps repeating itself always and all over the world.
I fear the lesson will never be learned.

Both historic and prophetic. Haunting but as smooth as a new baby's skin.

I got chills reading this.

I fear there will never be an answer, for either futile wars fueled by hatred, genocide or downright greed. The same old story, rich grow richer, poor poorer and only one profits from war.

Magnificent, Elly.

Sadly it took me right back to that day; to that second when the the towers fell and the world wept. Now seven years later, I may try to write something about it, but I don't think I will be able to do it so powerfully and eloquently as this.

Magnificent.

Elly girl, another beautiful poem. I'm too silly and immature to get the full meaning of it right now but your words flow together really well.

*sigh*

heart breaking to think about.
to this day i'm so grateful that my brother never made it to NY. He was supposed to move into a new apartment in Manhattan 3 weeks before the twins went down. He never made it there. The deal on the apt his realtor found for him fell through and he had to delay his move. it's funny how things work out, eh?

this is a very sad but very well written poem......

*hugs to you, my friend*

I was there for a week trip just a couple of weeks before the towers were hit.
I shopped in the underground mall there.
Yes, it's funny how things work out for sure.

Hugs.

It's another one of those memories to add to the collection of tragedies for our generations, like the Kennedy assassination and space shuttle Challenger. I wasn't alive when Kennedy died, but everyone that was remembers exactly what they were doing. I do rememeber Challenger and 9/11, both like yesterday.
