TRUE   DEMOCRACY     FALL 2001     TABLE OF CONTENTS
Poetry
9-11-01


I stare in total disbelief,
Heart torn with instant grief.
Plumes of black smoke fill the air,
Marking a building no longer there.

I close my eyes, I want to pray,
But my mind doesn't know what to say.
Much like Pearl harbour, so many years ago,
So many gone with one fatal blow.

There are no words to explain,
There are no words to ease the pain.
To those who gave their lives,
Mothers, Fathers, Husbands and Wives,
To all who's lives today did cease,
May your soul find instant peace.
We will honour you and the life you gave,
As a Patriot of "The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave."



With the Greatest Respect,
Pamela Gayle Smith
September The Eleventh, in the Year of Our Lord, Two Thousand and One
