Twin Towers
Jacqueline Y. Elliott
You looked so majestic and free,
you and your partner standing there,
|
 |
buildings so tall no one else had come close to your stature or beauty,
You were built to withstand earthquakes and mighty winds,
But who was to know that something so simple as hatred could tear you down,
And did so with a hatred so vile and angry that even God gasped.
And when you fell to the earth that day,
we heard the sound of a thousand groans,
and could not make out if it was you or the thousands who lay dead inside the heart of you.
Our country did not know the depths our grief would reach, or maybe God did not let us know,
to shield and soften the shock and pain of our loss.
We have grown as a nation and as a people.
And we will never again take the beauty of life so for granted,
or naive enough to think that a hatred so black and deep could not come to us
and touch our very souls with its sickness.
