Poem of Hope
7:44 AM 11/11/01
~*A Day Of Review*~
I woke up today, just another day
Mom made the coffee, and I made the toast
I packed my bags, was a little ahead of time
So I sat down and turned the TV on
I looked on in horror, I couldn't believe
I just thought it was accidental,
The World Trade Centers hit by a plane,
Got on the bus listened to it all the way to school
Instead of doing work that day
We watched our country be hit by terrorists
Four times, two WTC's, 1 Pentagon, and 1 Pittsburgh
Some of my friends were crying,
Some were scared, some nervous, some anxious
In 3rd period, my history class,
Our teacher let us watch for the whole time,
I sat there in amazement, in fear, and in hopes
That a good friend's father was not working that day
His name, dad, his daughter my friend, his job
On the 97th floor of the South Tower
I decided that It was not real, not alive
But in my heart I knew that our country was forever changed
Our record winning baseball team, The Seattle M's, were supposed to play
They didn't for 1 whole week, one dreadfully long week
Everywhere you went, you'd see officers be it police or military
Quite scary, to have military patrolling your airports,
I right know am filled with desire,
Desire to bring down the Al-Queda, and Taliban rule,
however that may come, it will come
I'm filled with fear,
Fear for me, my family, my friends, and my country
Fear for Amercians lives, which over 3,200 were lost
I'm filled with a new sense of unity,
Our country's foundation stronger, our country's faith revived
I'm filled with shame,
Shame that in no ways can be explained
I'm filled with a strong hate,
Strong hate that I wish Osama's life could end
Here and now, even though he will die, it won't
Replace the hole in my heart left by the loss
Of my Americans that walked beside me each day
Went to soccer practice, got my equipment on
I thought of those rescuers with their equipment over 40 lbs in weight
Silently I thanked them,
For their courage, their loving embrace on this country's faith,
The faith that all Americans should walk free, and live terror free
I kicked the ball to by best friend, so deeply wishing it were Osama's head
When coach Salzy showed up, he sat us down and we talked
Talked about fears, courage, and how we can put that into energy on the field,
Let's just say if we played the way we did then, games would be no problem
Mom picked me and my best friend up, we drove with the radio on,
Just listening
This ain't a poem about the events, just a vocal diary, anyways
We dropped my bud off, went home, had dinner
It's the first time I've prayed before eating in a while
We ate with the Television on, we heard our president
George W. Bush, discuss, and analyze
I did my homework, at least I tried, but I was
So distraught I really couldn't focus
I brushed my hair, and teeth
Gave my parents a big hug, big hug
Found my bro and gave him a little talk and then hugged him
I silently made my way to my room, which usually
has the volume of my stereo cranked up high,
Was dead, no radio, no piano, no computer, just silence,
I changed into my pajamas and hopped into bed
I Tried to sleep, really I did, but I
Couldn't, there was no way
For the first time in my life I was scared
I was, and still am almost 2 months later
I was scared that if I fell asleep
The phone would ring and someone close to me would be dead
in another attack or something
I'm hopeful that we'll have Al-Queda & Taliban members either dead
or in our unreleasing grips,
God has always had faith in this country,
Only He knows that we'll be alright,
I only hope that He make us safe,
And end the terror, and the violence right
I wish the fighters luck, thank you so much
It's time to go this is enough.
