"Twelve Years Later"

Tragedy cannot be,
Prevented for eternity.
Some souls may disagree.
But this is simply honesty.

Our spirits bend, but never break,
For our mere sanity's sake.
Our strength may very well seem fake,
But it could overflow a lake.

Now we cannot truthfully lie,
For many innocent did die.
For them, we kneel and cry.
What's next? No alibi.

*In memory of the 9/11 victims. R.I.P.*
