Dusty streets; streaked
With tears

Love
Wrapped up in steel.
And debris,covered


Hatred…
Steals lives and

Steel…
Heat evolved
From red

Hot
Flames and faces,

“Who?”

Dust clears,
Haze lifts;
The atmosphere is uns et t led,

Along
With souls….lives


Stole.
Loneliness
Surrounds the empty,


Filled


Streets.
Red…tear soaked
Eyes of hate


Plead
With God,

“Why?”



Yet…
Mocking eyes
Quietly
Watch from the other side
Of the sea…
The invisible city across

The sea.
And they knew
That we couldn’t…see
Through the ocean


To see


Across the sea.


Hate
Was theirs.


Vengeance
Would soon be ours
(we prayed).

“Revenge…ours,
Mistake… theirs.”
Trodden, American hearts

Silently,


Shouted,
Into the

Clear,



Blue



Sky.
