I wanted to put this poem on here that I wrote in school. The reason why I am posting this poem, is because I want people to know that we should never forget about any of the innocent lives that were lost that day or anyday. I first wrote this in May 1999. Please don’t forget the innocent.

Classes started normal
Outrageous outbursts
Lives lost
Unforgettable
Minutes turning into hours
Bombs blowing up
Irresponsible
Nasty gun shots
Ending in pools of blood
Hatred raging
Insane
Gruesome
Hideous
Sirens ringing
Crosses in the ground
Happiness ending in horror
Oceans of tears
Outrageous
Learning to start over again

    A very painful memory, no doubt! Wonderful tribute though. It is good of you to remember!

    Another good verse and tribute to Innocent lives. I can understand the special feeling on the tenth anniversary.
    I wonder also if this is connected to your brother?
    If so I am sure he would be proud that this experience can reflect in your writing. If you are hurting, please take comfort from the happier times.

    Yours Faithfully
