Poem "Remember 9/11" (9/14/04)

REMEMBER 9/11

Each life lost
Brings to the family left behind
Mixed memories and emotions
Of the loved ones lost in time.

Should we mourn the lost
As heroes? Most had no voice
Regarding their plane that crashed,
They had no choice.

Because they had no voice
Should they be thought less
Than those that voted
On that terrible Day?

I say no.
Remember them all as heroes.
They are the lives we lost
For Democracy, they were the cost.
