These are all feelings we must overcome
For the pain from the infamy
Will bring us no gain, and
The anger from these
Foreign strangers will only
Bring more hate and more to
Be slain. Our disgust leads
To distrust that must
Be vanquished to illuminate
The abuse of any certain race.
These are the feelings
Of many abroad, for better
Or worse, World Wars, or
Remorse.
So whatever you may be
A Jew, Christian, or Moslem maybe,
Bend your head down with me
And say a prayer for
Those who no longer
Show Pain, Anger, and Distrust
Summary
This poem is written to show some of the feelings people may feel about the aftermath of the World Trade Center disaster. A person has to remember that although they may feel all sorts of pain and anguish for the events that have occurred, there are those that died in the WTC that will lay silent for all eternity. So, while we may attack and repent against the evils of the world, we must also show support for the immediately affected people of the attack.
