More about 9/11
Smoke curled,
climbed
above the towers
spelling terror
across a cloudless sky.

Dust fell,
loud, heavy
clogging windows,
burying
questions, deep,
in confused minds.

Death destroyed
a city's face,
scarred the heart
of a proud,
strong nation.

Hands groped
for each other
uniting prejudice
with sadness.

Patriotism
built heroes
where hate
planted shellshock.

History repeats
war
and
peace...
