Dreams Falling Down

So many dreams came tumbling down

The day that the towers fell out of the Heavens;

A day when innocents, unsuspecting,

Stepped aboard missiles of grave misgivings.

 

Hopes aborted,

Lives cut short,

Millions affected in so many ways.

There’s not a soul with cognizant memory

Who cannot remember where they were that day.

 

Quickly awakened

The ire of a nation

Set forth a path of intense retribution,

Vowing remembrance while seeking the snake,

To cut off the head,

To find a solution.

 

And all of those dreams of all of those souls

Lost in the ash and the rubble of time

Still serve a purpose,

A vivid reminder,

As we pursue justice for this horrid crime.
