I don't have a poem, but I do have something.
Two years ago today, the lives of all Americans everywhere were shattered. No matter who you were or where you were, it cut you. It cut all of us. bin Laden thought that he would destroy America through fear, but two years after his crime was commited we still stand tall.
Though the bodies of the fallen have been laid to rest, we are still alive and kicking. But just think, how it might have been if no one was there to help. If no one was willing to give it their all to assist their fellow Americans. 9/11 brought out the true America, an America where there is no bigotry, racism, feminism. An America that was bonded together through one mighty act, an America that helped her people.
All gave some, some gave all, but no matter how litte someone gave, they're all heroes. They all gave up their time to help fellow Americans, and they did it willfully.
Today was a somber day for me at UNT. It was for everyone, because we remembered what we were doing that day. We all could remember everything to the last detail. I spent most of the day consoling fellow students, as they did me.
Always remember, that even after 9/11, we have not given up, we have not backed down. Many people have already forgotten what had happened, and that saddens me. All I can remember about today is not the war in Iraq, not the Bush haters, but freedom. We take it for granted sometimes, but today it's stronger than ever. We made it this far, and we will prevail.
Religious or not...pray for those people tonight. I did that night two years ago, and I'll do it again tonight. They will remain heroes forever.
