[Newspoetry] 9/11 poem

[Peter DeLorenzi]

9/11
by peter delorenzi

The world became silent today
After the thunderous rumbles
As the two towers fell down
Amongst onlookers both near and far
In disbelief, anguish and fear

Fires, smoke and debris mingle
With politicians and police
Who themselves mingle with the dead
Firefighters, all trying to help the unhelpable
Professing possibility in a world of impossibilities

Where anything is possible
Especially in a world of technology
And civilization, that we seem to forget
Is responsible for the procreation of man
In his inhuman guise, with his inhuman mind

And yet we continue attempts to create a human being
