9/11: Unified in Soul and Spirit Forever

A poem in remembrance of 9/11 on its 25th anniversary - a patriotic poem.

A bestial and vengeful assault
On the nation's iconic center,
New York City;
The Twin Towers, our skyline's
World Trade Center in ungodly, vile ruins. 
Al Qaeda terrorists gaining control
Of United Airlines aircraft
Through hostile acts
Of varicose and contemptuous engagement;
Rerouting flights toward our city's
Manhattan center
And regional assets.

The blazing and ferocious rocking
Of asphalt and steel.
The unbelievable enormity
Of crumbling foundations
Of buildings and streets
Into fiery smoke and ashes -
Emergency vehicles and brave firefighters
Converging on Ground Zero,
Rescuing hundreds and thousands from
The ghastly and heartrending strikes
Against two of the nation's
Great historic landmarks,
The World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Many souls perishing in the bloody aftermath
Of the most deadly attack
In American history.

Twenty-five years have come and gone;
And the United States appearing
More powerful, positive, and resolute;
The military and armed forces branches
Of our brave and valorous nation
Excelling in preparation of the Axis of Evil's
Oncoming disasters and threats
To our imperiled coasts
And our besieged and beset allies...

Families and friends and the proud country's
Patriotic citizens and partners
Remembering all of the fallen souls
On this horrific day in 2001
With sadness, gravity and reverence.
The immense sacrifice
Of our wondrous relations and ties
And the brave first responders
Lost to this heinous and atrocious
Criminal assault
On our civil and decent society
In honored focus.
A prayerful and saintly code of ethics
And respectful clarity befitting
The greatest light for Planet Earth's
Spiritual and unified attempts
For promising and logical solutions
For our loving universe's global influence
Perpetuating in earnest.
A parental, educational, and glorified conduct
In the apparent and obligatory offing
For our unabridged and complicated globe.
In loving remembrance
Of those responsible
And freedom-seeking human beings
And sweethearts
On this awesome, honorable,
And special planet...
