Poem I wrote early this morning.. The first two lines have been in my head for the past two days, so I figured it must be something I needed to get out.
Oh say can you see
Through the grey smoke filled skies
Just how badly we failed
At airport security
And the jet airliners there
Burst through buildings, mid-air
Gave proof to the lies
That our safety was there
Oh say can you see that
Star spangled banner still wave
Through the tears that we shed
At the ground zero grave.


I'm not quite what to make of it myself. I'm a bit on the numb side from all the friends that I've lost. Every emotion has run through me this past week. The only real joy I had was when I found out my cousin quit his job at the trade center and his wife escaped from the 85th floor. It's been a horrible week, I'm at a loss for words that make any sense.
