9-11-07...What did you see by the dawn's early light, today?

Answer 1

Wasn't it bleak as the future of those who were caught between the blazes of raging 'false democracies' and 'unfounded ideologies'? Wasn't it moistened with tears from those countless lives wasted and lost? Was there that old familiar glow that used to bathe those faultless, ordinary individuals in their way to normal chores of the day? Wasn't it taken away from their skies with continuous siege of their rights to existence by forces from the right and left which either mock true liberty or murder the hope of possible peace?
Was the dawn we just saw today be different from the rest of the coming dawns when the war in our heads seem to kill every bloodstream of brotherly love in us? Would the sun itself fear to rise on every soul on the run? Would it die in frustration just us many of our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters did...from long September day to just a while ago?

Answer 3

i grow to be at artwork on my computing device speaking to a chum in Greece who gave me the information. on the commencing up I purely concept it grow to be a airplane that hit the WTC, even though it quickly grew to become obvious that it grow to be significantly better than that. anybody at artwork grow to be armed, so we don't experience threatened in that way. I did lose my mom that day. What observed grow to be the quest to get the culprits that experienced in Afghanistan. anybody had and undergo in suggestions 9/11 and flag stickers. I stay interior minutes of the ANG base and we chilly pay attention small arms fireplace and jets around-the-clock. Amazingly Bush had like and 80 % approval score. you're proper, we've been united for that factor. i think like people think of that there is now no longer that variety of threat, yet we've seen Madrid, London, Bali and countless places in the middle east bombed by ability of this same group....

Answer 4

I saw nothing special. I thought of all the nonsense I was going to see and hear on television.
As Hemingway wrote: "I was always embarrassed by the words sacred, glorious and sacrifice and the expression in vain". "and I had seen nothing sacred, and the things that were glorious had no glory..."
"Abstract words such as glory, honor, courage, or hallow were obscene..."
At the end, the whole thing reminded me of Faulkner's words
"Life is a tale, Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."

Answer 5

The never to be forgotten images of a great tragedy
The use of this tragedy to incite more, continued bloodshed
The history, motivations for non-religious hatred, & "honour"
in suicide
The prejudice against true Muslims who are peaceful & non-
violent
The increasing propagation of radical terrorists due to illegal
invasion of another country through deceit of government
The unending grief of those who lost loved ones, & continue
to feel this grief as more die in a battle long ago lost
Man's inhumanity to man
I did not see light, only darkness

Thank you, jach--expressed more beautifully than the starkness of my words, & my heart
To shahrizat, a poet
johnfarber--yes, OBSCENE. Don't forget the "strutting," in the quote, & how it applies
lady_greentree--+ innocent Iraqis of far greater number, who cannot be forgotten. The flag has no white or blue; it is red blood soaked & tattered.

Answer 6

Red sunrise at dawn
Deeper russet at dusk
A giant crimson witness in tears of blood
Lamenting at humanity’s sorrowful song

9/11, it was thought to begin
And the end is yet to be seen
The keening, the wailing
On hard, deaf ears they fall

Compare 9/11
To the hundred thousand now
As violence begets lifelong violence
To what end, would you allow?

Answer 7

It was a day in remembance of 9/11 it fit. It was gloomy and rather sad.

Answer 8

I see the tears of a thousand mothers. I see thousands of children wailing. I see empty places at the dinner table. I see the phantoms of hatred and evil. When I look back at newspaper clippings, I see black, rolling smoke with Satan's face in it. And then I understand why.

Answer 9

A cold, gray, stormy sky. It was very fitting for this sad day. Almost as if the earth was giving homage to the fallen.
