Yesterday it happened. <br />Let us not forget. <br /> <br />All the damaged that was caused by Nine Elevens events. <br /> <br />Today it seems its a blur, all the suffering and pain that's occurred. <br /> <br />Until one remembers were still here. <br />Allowing us to reflect and make real. <br />All the things that we have ignored that brought this tragedy to our door. <br />We as Americans must today face, <br />Freedom comes with its stakes. <br />Our military is our checkmate, <br />Yet we as human beings must keep in mind what hatred does to man-kind. <br /> <br />9-11 was the day, <br />People stopped and didn't look away. <br />Now today the pain is real. <br />Yet we've forgotten how time heals. <br />With that process it dwindles away, and before you know it time slips away. <br /> <br />9-11 was our chance to right the wrongs and bring peace at hand. <br />It was wrong for such hatred to be. <br />It was wrong for so many lives to be, <br />Lost in the mist of hatred & harm. <br />Forgotten and thrown in the wake of its arms. <br /> <br />If this continues to spin. <br />Humanity may not have the chance to begin again. <br /> <br />9-11 woke us up. <br />Let's not close our eyes and pretend it's enough. <br />It will go on until people see, <br />Hatred & harm have no place to be. <br />It brings death & destruction, <br />Anger & rage. <br />My life is to precious to live with that all of my days. <br /> <br />Remember the victim's, <br />Remember the cause. <br />Remember its our lives after all.<br /><br />Rachel Fogle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/remember-9-11/
