9/11 - We Still Hear The Echoes (Poem)



Ten years ago! Oh ten years ago, we still hear the impact, we still hear the echoes......

We still see the planes, we still feel the crash, we still gasp at scenes,
We still wish it was all a dream......................

Ten years on, feels like ten days have gone
Tenth is this anniversary, of towers which stood strong..........

Herein lies the deceased, both here and in the Middle East
Some died for supposed honour
Many died in pure innocence
Some died on the battlefield
Some died for money and greed.........

Raging fires became dying embers
Dying embers became burning emblems 
Two towers came down, one nation stood up,
one voice perked up, one heart pumped up.......indivisible

Many conspiracies arise, we can only speculate
Is it all true? Judge with your own eyes
Darkness lies within the bosom of man..............

One thing for sure, as I write from across the shore
Is we still hear the echoes, of innocent lives gone............

Rest in peace the righteous amongst the deceased
A heavenly home now yours, with which no words can afford (John 14)............:)
