September Eleven.
 
The lives of many innocents snuffed out inside those towers
Are mourned by all that value justice, truth and love.
Little do the madmen know of how the giants will move
And how their knees will tremble as they face their final hours.
 
The wind that blows in from the north sings of firm resolve
Of all that value freedom and put justice to the fore
To root out the evil doers and even up the score
And make their paradise so false silently dissolve.
 
However long that it may take, the pain we will endure
The sacrifices we will make, the young lives brave and pure,
The innocents that meet their fate, the vengeance slow and sure,
As justice cleans this awful wound and evens up the score.

Bitter is the taste of blood, the grapes of wrath are sour,
Yet still, the world rotates fifteen degrees per hour.
 
David Henry.   11/10/01.

strong reaction,
and your sonnet equals the emotion.
 
thanks, Davo.

Suz,
 
I was watching our late news before going to bed when they cut over to New York just a minute or two after the first plane hit.  Then the second went in and the reporter came to realise that this was a terrorist attack.  I sat in my chair too horrified to move as the whole ghastly thing unfolded before my eyes.  I knew that from the moment this outrage was committed our world would never be the same again.  I wrote what I wrote above the very next day.
 
I'm so sorry you were so close to it.
 
Davo.

i'm sorry too.
i'm sorry it happened.
 
i'm sorry it's going to be re-lived in memories now.
 
i'm sorry for everyone who lost someone they loved.
i'm sorry this act of war that we were witness to will devastate immeasurably
in ever-widening circles, and that it will be a long time before there is any peace - 
a long haul, long journey for us all.
