Description
Found myself thinking of 9/11 today and thought I'd post this poem I wrote after it happened
The image is one I snagged from Google image search

In darkest night
self-flagellation over perceived failings pettiness in a new world saturated with surreality in the wake of the NY tragedy i am numb in the advent of war i become a child terrorism is incomprehensible in its audacity no deity or deities could justify such actions i feel shame for much of the human race so-called civilization has never really advanced in empathy it just masks its animalism with covert cleverness and abject cruelty i pray and cry for all in darkest night may i not be alone in this... my hidden hopes for humanity

Excellent writing. When that event occurred it was a gorgeous September day. I lived 10 miles below the Trade Center at that time. We all went to the beach and stood there watching the smoke billow out and then the air filled as the towers collapsed. Our local paper had obituary setions larger than the sports section and this went on for days. The smell in the air for months afterward reminded my German neighbor, who lived under Hitler's Terror, of the smells from the camps that permeated the air. Sadly, there are women in New Jersey who lost their homes because their husbands were gone and with all of the money donated it never did get to the right places fast enough. :( V

frig, i wrote a huge reply and i guess it was too long... the gist of it was that I was in Quebec when it happened and at 4 a.m. we'd been discussing how scary it would be when, someday, some organization would slap back at the States on its home turf... so when I was told what was happening in the morning, I couldn't believe it...

I skipped this at first, because I don't want to remember, but it was too late, the thumbnail was enough. I still shudder at the thought of it all, and still make secret plans for revenge when I'm really drunk. I wake up the next day and laugh at them, but I still remember. Excellent writing Cora.

"terrorism is incomprehensible in its audacity " -- I agree. It's like when a serial killer kills many. People ask 'why' he did it or 'how' he could do it. You have the ability to put great amounts of thoughts into succinct and superb writings. VOTE.

You're not alone...I felt weekened spiritually, and cringe at the thought that the reality is it will never end. And I am a components of the race, the tragic human race. I thought I was here to allow the devine purpose of the universe to unfold within me...that's what they tought me...guess I was wrong. Guess they were lying.
