September The Eleventh

Wherever we were, whatever we were doing,
We felt the fear, the ache, the hurt, the loss.
We could taste the dust in our mouths,
And our lungs filled with a choking settle of mortality.
Looking back, we never knew we were so strong.
We never knew we were so united.
Today we celebrate those remembrances - feeling united
Against an evil we couldn't imagine.
This is not a god's way.
This is not a shepherd's way.
This is mistaken ideology.
We mourn those lost September 11, 2001.
