ALWAYS REMEMBER

I wrote this last year, but being out of creative juices, feel it’s just as applicable today as it was then, even if the only other person in my office now that I am self employed is a fuzzy black toy poodle

We always must remember,
Must never forget,
The day 2976 died,
By the fires of jets.

Today was different,
Then most other years,
Today only families,
Shed their tears.

My office was busy,
No one spoke of the day.
It was business as usual,
People went on their way.

No silence was observed,
As the names were read,
The TV chattered to an empty room,
About our dead.

Did we really forget,
On this warm September night,
The thing that happened,
That caused us to fight?

It seemed that way,
And it shouldn’t be,
That around me NY,
Went on…quite merrily.

So I devote this post,
To all that perished,
Please know that forever,
Your memories are cherished.

And I guess that’s what makes,
New York go round,
That even when weeping,
You don’t hear the sound.
Because it’s still there,
That hole in the ground.
Where towers once blazed,
No peace will be found.
