Reminiscing on Sept 11 Tragedy?
On Sept 11, 2026
On this Friday – the 25th anniversary
Hard to dismiss as we promised never to forget

America has kept its promise
As the twin towers collapsed
Bringing them down …
The first tower falling

The World Trade Center (WTC)
The financial center of the world
Went down and collapsed by monsters
With their hearts black

It was the South Tower going down at 9:59 AM
Followed by the North Tower at 10:28 AM
The WTC7, came down at 5:20PM
One of time’s saddest of days …

Until this day …
When we think of the WTC
The loss of lives …
The heroic souls giving their life

As we all cried …
For the unbelievable cries-hurts
As aligned. – joined with endless pain
We were glued to our tv screens

As we screamed in disbelief
How did those traitors
Become smarter than us?
By tricking us as we slept!

Not even the CIA, FBI and the smartet of men
caught or glimpsed
Of ever people …
All insane …

Today as we look back …
We all know the date of JFK’s death
His Life came to his end …
Am sure, was one of the darkest of days

I am sure …
Was hard to wake up
As his brain half gone
His wife, Jackie cried

With her pink suit
All stained …
She held her children tight
As she stated “They are killing all the Kennedy’s!”

How fears intense …
I know this is in the past
It’s tragedy like this
We get numb all over again

Sept 11, 2001 …
A day never to forget
There will always be tribute
To keep their lives name alive

Patients died that day …
We promised never to forget
What did I do to commemorate their names?
I recalled working at Beth Israel Medical CTR
… I became numbed

Watching people looking motionless
Walking on First Avenue, New York
Looking more like zombies …
With aches and their cloths gray

With faces continuously motionless …
Am sure, they forgot their names
It was the saddest of days …
As people tugged and ran to hospital’s ER

With love in their heart …
Pain in their faces
And a brain they didn’t know they had
With pictures of their lives

… and the loved one’s
On their hands
With questions …
“Is this person here?”

How to respond …
When survival were few – Too many lives gone …
As the twin towers were both brought down
… now they’re gone

How to respond?
We learned of transportation affected
There were no trains, no buses
No airlines opened …

As all planes seemed not in mid air
Seemed they all disappeared …
All the trains in NYC failed to operate
As the MTA was numb from employees

Walking like
