This is a poem I wrote on the first anniversary on 9/11. Ten years on nothing has changed. The first letter of each line down spells out September Eleventh.
So here we are one year on
Echoes of that day have never gone
Pain and despair replayed in my head
Thoughts of the missing
Eternal tears for the dead
Months have passed
But that day was so fateful
Every life taken
Reminds us we should be eternally grateful
Evolving for a new dawn is what we should do
Leave the fighting to soldiers
Embrace all that’s new
Vengeance is still the emotion
Each day it runs through my soul
Now though I have learnt the thought of control
To those who committed these unforgettable crimes
Hell beckons for you when the bell chimes.
