Raucous Echo At Eleven...
It's everywhere,
The maudlin whispers,
That celebration of darkness,
A whisper of ghosts from within a black cloud.
The cries and whimpers haunt me,
As I wonder of answers and illusions,
It's all a matter of trust - lacking.
I saw things my own eyes tell me aren't physically possible,
I see shame and sadness in nooks and crannies across the land,
Wondering who won what and remembering the cost,
All the answers in the universe pale,
No matter their say.
Echoes, echoes, echoes and screams - I remember - even without belief.

9/11/2001, shrouded in controversy and politics, is at its heart a horror story of lost lives and lost freedoms. The people and the ideals are what really mattered, and I, for one, will never forget.
