Reflections of 911




Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java.

Years have come and gone,
Since the towers came down...
Yet nothing is settled,
No peace to be found.

Seems like the efforts,
Made to this date,
Cannot resolve,
Our grief and our fate.

There are still questions there,
With no answers yet found,
Though grass replaces
The rubble from the ground.

The grief that we feel,
Is still fresh and so strong,
Despite all the 'answers'
For what really went wrong.

It seems that the mourning,
Is greater today,
That time does not heal,
Nor make it go way.

911 was a wakeup,
To a nation off guard,
Grief is not easy,
Forgiveness is hard.

So that each day now passes,
With no end in sight,
We remain in our mourning,
Still sealed with that plight.

We pray for the peace,
That only healing brings,
Proudly tell the rest of the world,
That Freedom still rings.


2004 Loree (Mason) O'Neil

comment on shameonflowgo, get a life dude. It's a poem to reflect on the terrible thing that happened on 9/11 I had some relatives that died that day, and I think it is a great poem and music. In Canada we hold our troops and service people up high and thank them for dieing for our country. The USA should to. It's our freedom they're fighting for, and this is in respect for them.

Completely agree with "Shameonflowgo" about posting a tribute for the 9/11 victims on a joke site. There's no joke here. There's nothing remotely funny about what happened seven years ago today. The tragedy this nation suffered on 9/11/2001 should not be trivialized with bad poetry and cheesy music. The poem (I use that word loosely) isn't even so much of a tribute as it is a political statement ("...nothing is settled, No peace to be found. Seems like the efforts, Made to this date, Cannot resolve, Our grief and our fate. [resolve our fate? What does that mean?] There are still questions there, With no answers yet found..."), and it's a poorly written political statement at that. You don't mourn or honor those who lost their lives in a tragedy by complaining about what the government is or isn't doing. McCain and Obama put aside their differences today to simply remember and honor those who died. The rest of us should do the same. Flowgo, think twice next time!
