Yes, so sad and so true.
|
Art classes start tonight and I’m finishing up preparations for it. It helps me remember 9/11 and helps take my mind off it.
Good luck with your class..I haven’t watched TV today...avoiding it.
Brilliant ploy!
I thought so.
Those sights are engraved in my head anyway...so I am delaying..I’ll watch..but not yet..
Maybe it’s because I’m a Scot artist. I want to remember what it all looked like because I want to stay good and damned mad.
Would you prefer that I not post any photos of that day?

This was displayed on the refrigerator door while we waited to hit them...without the misspelled caption.
Oh no.. post away! I have been looking at them in my files and on the forum all day..and posting some..I remember the many pictures of people jumping..I must have saved them on my now dead computer.I remember the media thought we were too delicate to see them.
It's the videos I am delaying looking at ..and the recordings of those in the buildings and planes calling loved ones.
Stay good and mad..I am. I am also good and mad at the politicians who wave the surrender flag and the citizens who support them.
We have so many pictures of the Twin Towers but I have only 2 noting the hit and carnage at the Pentagon. I had lost the caption to my retiring of the flag..Now I have it..Thank you
Thank you for the music..God bless this nation again indeed.
No..not anymore..Now that makes me want to cry..and of course the anger is there,too.
Sadly true....starting with the “senators” and “representatives” of New York. You would think they got it.....but I guess not. Personal power is more important to them than their country and her safety.

I for one certainly will not forget. Was reading on FR that the 9/11 conspiracy topics are gaining ground. They will remember this day as something totally different.
9/11 Poems - Please Remember 9/11
RISE AGAIN
By Christian Messer
As September eleventh comes around,
we remember the two beautiful towers that fell to the ground.
It was an act of terrorism this we know, and the tears of America now show.
This country is going to war,
more of our woman and men will be lost for sure.
Now time has passed about a year,
from when we lost those lives so dear.
This time will we just sit and watch this war?
Or will we stand and fight for something more?
Will our country stand and fight for justice?
Yes it will and not for just this.
We will fight for the lives that were lost, and for the peace and security that they cost.
The deep water that seems to surround us now will soon be drained, and America will rise again to reign.
---------------------------------------------
I lit a candle outside...
trying to remember so many names......
remembering how many died......
and so many families left unsaid....
some still wishing for that one day to come...
they will get a call saying they found their loved one...

A NEW DAY IN AMERICA
By Jason Carl Johnson
Today I saw a flame arise from ashes cold and gray Today I heard a nation lift up its voice to pray
Today I saw a country humbled before its God Today I heard a free land its liberty applaud
Today I saw a flag wave from every porch and lawn Today I heard a nation sing the old forgotten songs
Today I saw a brother in every stranger's face Today I heard a single voice from every tongue and race
Today I saw a people stand with arms and hearts entwined Today I heard their voices speak with unity of mind
Today I saw a country so distinct from yesterday O that everyday in America could be just like today!

THE DAY OF TERROR
By Caitlin Clark
It started off cloudless and blue,
the day would hold terror and nobody knew.
People went to school and work,
I hope Osama enjoyed his little quirk.
Students stand on chairs
to see why the teacher stares.
Teachers told their classes
what happened to those great masses.
Students worry,
everyone in great fury.
Everyone wonders,
Are they safe in those Towers?
Now I sit and stare
at the land thats now so bare.
What did we do to deserve this?
Why this?
Why us?
One thing that we all know for sure
is that United We Stand Forever More!
---------------------------------------------
SEPTEMBER ELEVENTH
The day we will never forget
A tragic date that most of us regret.
I feel nothing more than pity and anger for those who have brought Danger to so many lives.
Look at all that's left behind:
Husbands and wives,
Homes with children left with nothing but tears falling from their eyes.
Just remember;
God will save us from our fears,
So go on and wipe those tears.

THE ATTACK
By Janine Susag
Hi, my name is Janine Susag and I'm fourteen years old. Shortly after 9.11.01, I wrote this poem to express my feelings towards what had happened. Now I pass it on to you so that other people can view it and see that I understand.
Always and Forever,
Janine Susag, 14
I watched the unbelievable scene in despair Listened to the screams that filled the eerie morning air It seemed as if it was all a horrific story And all I could do was watch and worry
I shuddered as I watched the planes crash Creating in each building a great huge gash I looked at an old picture of the towers proud and tall Then shuddered again as I watched them fall
This wasn't the end of the horrible scene Not the last thing I will have seen Soon there were people jumping into death's arms And others rushed to medics to escape all harm
I sat down on the ground, eyes glued to the screen Wondering who did this, who could be so mean?
I wished that there was someway I could help But knew that there wasn't, I was too young to help
I never thought the US would be attacked We were invulnerable; could not be harmed Though the number missing is more each time counted America has hope, for we have united

THE TOWERS
A poem from an ex-New Yorker
By: EReyes1938@aol.com
Remember the towers
the saddest day in America
when planes changed course
bringing death from above.
The towers
which once stood
with pride and reliance
crumbled as wounded giants.
Thousands of lives
were lost in minutes
leaving scars w/deep roots.
The resolve of teams
was necessary and immediate
and may people were spared.
We now strike
at those responsible
even though it seems impossible.
Survivors lives
may never be the same
but we know God can heal broken hearts.
NEVER FORGET!
