This is such a sad poem, also a poignant reminder of the events of that day. I watched in horror as the events unfolded. I agree with Peter. At first, it looked like a scene from a disaster movie. I cried when I realised that it was actually happening.

A very powerful write.

You do justice to those brave men from that day

in a very concise piece, bear,

an excellent tribute and a great interpretation of the challenge genre, Zy

Nineteen men, evil written in their heart

Believing their God had set them apart

How can prophets and God be so misread?

That the innocent, all end up dead ?

Evil committed in some Gods name

I know not of God, but evil, is always the same.

I like the word change from 'their' to 'our', bear, it works better, I think anyways, Zy
