9/11 LOCKED IN OUR MEMORY
Verses and Visions A New Day Book
The 9/11 attack
There was no turning back
Twin Towers doomed
Devilish flames loomed
Towers fell of steel
Dawning horror surreal
Commanding evil here
Death lay near
What we dread
The massive dead
Amidst dark of death
What is left
A rumble mass
Colossal heap vast
Ruins on the street
Spill smoke and heat
Clouds barreling down
All over New York town
Suffocating ash wrath
Lies in the cloud’s path
The scare has begun
Driven to run
A snapshot to see
Of a city’s tragedy
The sacrifice lend
Of police and firemen
Gruesome reality
Of the mass fatality
As years may past
9/11 forever will last
The day will always be
Locked in our memory

9/11 LOCKED IN OUR MEMORY
The years may past yet 9/11 forever will last, locked in our memory. On yearly cue, we commemorate the forsaken anniversary of September 11. Once on the ground towering over the people stood the Twin Towers.
Today the barren burial land is renamed Ground Zero. To break into reminiscence of the somber world of darkness lucid on that day as pavements crumbled and air was sucked away by evil suffocation. The 9/11 annual revisit is our presentiment to unite and memorialize the roster of the fallen, the brave, the sacrifice of women and men. We shall never forget.
The unprecedented attack in 2001 brought home a renewed united patriotism – a light in the darkness, a flicker of hope on the ground of dust. Lost of life that day cast somber a darkness saved by the light of a rich exchange of faith, hope and charity to go on. September 11 was a turning point. An awakening to see America is no longer unassailable. Yet, we can look back on that dismal day and see what we did not lose – our patriotism, prosperity and prayers.
It is the irony of America’s land of liberty and of the free to beckon the way on the path en route taken by terrorists, as worldwide globalization opens a gateway of entry, placing in position to target America’s economic, commerce and military supremacy.
However, the heart of our power is Americans endurance to persevere and prosper. The dust remains of 9/11 sin given to the wind. America has risen above, beyond the haunting doom fate of 9/11. Terrorist shall not win. However, given the World Trade Center rebuilding projection for construction with no end in sight, citing delays in progress – perhaps, alas, the terrorist won after all.
Alas, in a world lay hidden the cancer of terrorism has no cure. Only in a perfect world shall terrorism be gone. The unseen enemy lingers throbbing in the shadows, beckoning at street corners pulling to unlock our doors. Yet, shadows are enlighten, street corners in surveillance, doors fasten by security in a united force band of Americans alert on guard. Americans have stood together to fence our land and hold the key to permit dwellers entry. Terrorists need not apply.
Since the 9/11 attack there is no turning back. 9/11 will always be locked in our memory.

Dear
Editor:
There
are times when we re-examine the meaning of life and it usually takes a
tragedy. September 11 was one of those times.
A new
hero rose from the ashes at Ground Zero – the working class hero embodied and
personified as the brave roster of Firemen, Police and rescue workers. On that
9/11 day we gave witness to acts of courage to surpass the deeds of legendary
heroes.
We shall
never forget.

THIS SEPTEMBER 11TH DAY
Announce in the sky
The attackers fly
Flash of wrong
Bears evil along
Sense of coming ill
With an evil will
Exercise their powers
Upon the Twin Towers
Faith had denied
Glory stands aside
Towers falling burn
Scattered ashes urn
Spare us grief yet
Lest we never forget
Somber Ground Zero lay
This September 11th day

Newsday Letters: Lessons after 9/11
There are times when we re-examine the meaning of life, and it often takes a tragedy. Sept. 11, 2001, was one of those times.
A new hero rose from the ashes at Ground Zero -- the working class hero embodied and personified as the brave roster of firefighters, police officers and rescue workers. On 9/11, we witnessed acts of great courage.
Show us a tragedy, show us a hero. We shall never forget; 9/11 is forever locked in our memories.
Susan and Robert Davniero, Lindenhurst
A new hero rose from the ashes at Ground Zero -- the working class hero embodied and personified as the brave roster of firefighters, police officers and rescue workers. On 9/11, we witnessed acts of great courage.
Essentially, the working class heroes are the saviors of home and humanity, not the idle rich bourgeois or pretentious celebrity.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
There are times when we re-examine the meaning of life and it usually takes a tragedy. September 11, 2001 was one of those times.
A new hero rose from the ashes of Ground Zero – the working class hero; Firemen, Police and rescue workers. Essentially, working class heroes are the saviors of humanity; not the idle rich bourgeois or pretentious celebrity.
On that 9/11 day we gave witness to acts of courage to surpass the deeds of legendary heroes. In most part the fictional surreal superheroes have quite suddenly been made real by the real everyday heroes walking amongst us who were always there yet never really seen.
Show me a tragedy – show me a hero. Alas, the real 9/11 heroes never came home. We shall never forget.
In memory of September 11, 2001 - remember to hang your flag!

9/11 FOREVER
Published: NY Daily News
The years may past yet 9/11 forever will be locked in our memory. To revisit and break into memory of the somber September 11 day when pavements crumbled, dust clouds plowed our streets and the Twin Towers
Essentially, Osama Bin Laden’s death brought home a renewed united patriotism, a light in the darkness as Americans unite in victory. The terrorists did not win after all. United we stand. This is a proud day for America

PROUD DAY FOR AMERICA
Published NY Post
Published NY Post
It’s a proud day for America U.S.
What is owed to the story are the lives of 9/11 victims and on this occasion to remember and memorialize the victims. For all intent purposes justice finally is serve for 9/11 victims. Judgment Day will be visited upon Bin Laden.
Apparently Americans are buoyed by the death reaching out to unite and feel the pulse of the nation’s embrace in celebration. Normally you wouldn’t celebrate one’s death yet this is a new normal.
Perhaps Bin Laden’s death will bring about a peace momentarily and to pause into the violent world of terrorism. However, the enormity of terrorism is beyond Bin Laden. Although there is satisfaction to the nature of 9/11 madness Al Qaeda still remains and we need to remain alert for retaliation.
Today there is some closure to 9/11; yet, alas, the war on terrorism is never really over.
