A poem that I wrote about the 9/11 catastrophe.
The tranquil blue sky,
Ruptured with plumes of grey
The peaceful morning gaze,
Reflecting on the pain

The two colossal towers,
Submerged to dust
The pleasant sunshine,
Distraught by tragic flame

The cool city breeze,
Ripped apart by smoke
The tantalising skyline,
Littered with disaster

The world watches,
Transfixed by horror
The world mourns,
Engaged by death

The people's faces,
Burning with dismay
The people's eyes,
Indescribable

The terror remains,
Silent echoes in the wind
The hatred born,
Unforgivable

The memory reigns,
As history it will lay
The mind shall never let grasp,
Of that September Day
