Connections

Two planes and two towers.

An impact first, then the other.

Noise, dust and fire, commotion.

And the world as an expectator.

The news travelled as fast as they were able to.

For a moment we were all connected by a single event.

It’s not romantic, it’s a tragedy.

Those who died were not martyrs, they were victims.

Remember them, but don’t put them on a banner.

For they were just people whose life was stolen away.

For those who died wanted to have a long life.

So learn from this so that it may not happen again.

It’s something we all share,

the goosebumps that two numbers produce.

It’s embedded deep in our heart.

A tragedy we all share.
