Condolences Forever Invoked - 9/11/201

rew4er2nail

Many unsuspecting innocent lives

unwittingly found themselves

at ground zero

with absolutely no time

to bid loved ones adieu,

and thus with

a metaphorically clangorous

(aire splitting din – bedlam askew

 

n'er to be silenced),

aye felt near ready,

viz no haw wing,

nor hem ming – waze

farewell call to peace monger...

and arm Matthew

nine one one when

clear out of the blue

a resounding handy

dandy bell lose clue

asper, a fitting notion pain

fully apropos to applaud motley crue

i.e. strangers risk

king life and limb,

would definitely do,

no matter where persons

stationed come thee

ex-tolling bells morrow,

(whence thee fateful

seventeenth anniversary

twill dolefully arrive -

somberly dawning for

survivors and/or next of kin -

less than twenty four

hours from now),

sans unforgettable tragedy

indelibly etched will be recalled

in a blinding

fiery stormy flashback,

where significant lost lives will replay,

when weaponized airplanes

took a kamikaze nose dive


a dwindling cadre,

qua first line of defense,

emergency civilian and/or military

trained personnel jumped

into the blizzard decimated fray,

whereat selfless persons

scurried (helter skelter like)

all abustle analogous

 

to a outsize bee hive

where 24/7 news

broad casters did air

(nee blast) round

the clock latest bulletins,

could not escape incessant blare

ring frozen like a

life size like sculpture

 

seated in favorite easy chair

hypnotized by the sheer colossal

utterly incomprehensible dare

devilish a state of emergency,

the then president

(George Walker Bush) did declare

dumb founded, slack jawed,

and wicked deed

 

waiting for horror

to be recanted as an err

roar overloaded sensory circuits

exceeded threshold,

nonetheless listeners and/or

viewers forced themselves to hear

live coverage far more appalling

than any night mare.
