[bodytext] => I remember it so vividly Seven years after the fact The gut feeling when I woke That something just wasn't right I remember shrugging it all off After all I was late for school The sickness never left As I sat in class The teachers seemed oblivious Until one slammed the door open Panting, she'd just ran a lot She looked frantic and my feeling was justified "America's under attack" The words didn't register right away I remember blinking and standing in shock A young girl only 11 years old The children around me didn't understand The gravity that weighed down on the adults And myself I remember everything about it That dark depressing day The day the darkness came And wiped the joy away It was cold and cloudy Just like today As I stare at the flag And wonder where it all went wrong Resentment and remorse For the hell that seemed to form America wasn't bad to me Until the shadows loomed And the disturbing act of terrorism Brought the peace to an end Now the world is draped in darkness And sadness is plenty I should blame them, hate them all For bringing the darkness here But I can't bring myself to hate To be angry, to want revenge Instead I just feel helpless Hurt and alone Knowing that humanity Has gone so low [comments] => 1 [counter] => 159 [topic] => 38 [informant] => desolantdreamer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Tributes )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
