A Poem for Reflection

yes me on Sep 10, 2011

May we all become the answer.

A time to reflect

Or a time to forget

For me I see the regret

In so many across this globe

The starving in Somalia

The tears of Iraq

Afghan hell on earth

An Arab fall

Our own excuses pale

Like spoiled brats even our poor excel

Spare change!

Huh! I’m forgetting what it looks like

But!

Time that master of us all

He just sits there with his face emotionless

To it all

Tomorrow he’ll still tick he wont stop

Yes I too will stand for the us of A

After all we are all New Yorkers too

Tasted rested loved mixed pushed

Shoved just to get on aboard

Let freedom rule in peace

Let light beat back the dark

Let before it kills you

Love to all a brand new day

Lets rejoice in it

Lets cross hands

Lets offer our selves

As the answer to it all

The moment the bell

Tolls…

Let the tears of love

The tears of peace

The tears of hurt

Flow over Freedoms edge

Let the world cry Freedom

Freedom is here.

Freedom is different from person-to-person point of view and knowedge. I liked your lines for this matter.

so much truth in the sadness of this poem — we see so much thanks to new technology.. like the hunger and the sickness.. a very good reflection of today’s world Matt Frank

Liked the tribute Matt. I don’t think memories of that day will ever fade.

Beautifully written… we all share the hurt and would never forget, sad was the day and bitter the tears as we looked on in shock; wanting it not to be true…
God bless the lost souls and give courage and strength to the survivors.
