Never Forget...
Some Americans want to forget September 11; they claim they have 911 battle fatigue. They close their eyes and pretend that all is fine and right in their pristine world again. Some Americans say that the victims should move on and get over it-- look to the future and forget that day. But they can never get over a day like that unless they lose the very heart of their humanity. Some Americans say they're tired of whining widows and the stories of tragedy. What? Excuse me? Please tell me my ears deceive me. American's can't be so cold to another's suffering. Some Americans want to relax and slip back into the blind comfort of complacency. But the world has changed forever, and it's up to us to chart this nation's destiny. Some Americans have taken down the flags that used to fly proudly along every street. I guess Lady Liberty will shed yet another tear at this transient show of national unity. Some Americans have already forgotten the lessons of 9-11. They shoved the day in a safe and locked it up tight. I guess they just don't know what they've got. They're patriots only when the tension is rife. Please Remember September 11. Never forget those who died, those who suffered, those who sacrificed, those who grieve and those who are still struggling to find their way out of the darkness.
