9/11 remembered ~~ Poem for Tuesday Platform
Firefighter, Police officer,
Salesperson, Customer, Poet,
Trespasser, Food handler, Mother,
Letter Carrier, Father, Host,
Who's forgotten? All lives matter
Different times and places, global
Their lives mattered, were persons gone
Gone to another life, dead, killed
Killed by cowards who in silence
Sprung their traps open, different ways
Killed by fire and destruction, all
Global, must be stopped, end it now
Cowards festering hate killing
In name a god, a cause, not known

They will never be forgotten.
Yes I agree with the last two lines
Good poem.
That hate for whatever reason and for whatever cause needs to be stopped... and just maybe hate is grown from fear
The list of the fallen by profession really brings it all home.
Fear, hate, otherness.........a world in turmoil - each one a human being, if humankind could only remember that fact. Good one, Jim.
