9/11 poem in rememberance. By Brian37
This poem I am quite sure reflects the wish that it never happened. Many eyewitnesses discribed it as surreal like a movie.
In this poem I discribe the the trapped victims on the planes and in the towers as "flies". In the sense that the sickos saw them as subhuman, and all those "eyes" were trapped and helpless as they got swatted.
This is a tribute to all who lost their lives that day and in honor of those who saved lives. May we always remember that this was not a movie and never forget what hate can do.
It Wasn’t Stephen King, By Brian37
The orgasm
Of the abacus
Pious martyrs
Seek to shred flesh
Metal tubes
Without feathers
Soon to become
Righteous incinerators
The flies inside
With all those eyes
In futile effort
To avoid demise
Franticly dial
To those outside
The abacus count
Impending rise
Cracking voices
Tell of slashing
Tombs in audio
Of final moments
The coffee and tea
Offered to me
Stirred with venom
Made it grey
The snake head
The gargoyles claim
Is justified
To decapitate
The dominionists
They insist
Must obey
And acquiesce
Two onyx plumes
Are their warning
Blaspheme their dad
Or sully their soil
The fangs and rattles
And coiled spine
Inflict its toxin
2 more times
I wish it were
Imagination
A picture describing
John Mc Lane (note:Diehard)
I wish it were
That of Orwell
Of call letters(note: radio stations)
Spinning tall tales (note:War of the words radio broadcast)
Four daggers were real
And did not retract(note:not a fake blade)
6 orbits elapsed
Since 8:46(note:First plane hit)
I did not wake
From a sleep
My retinas will burn
Until I fill my urn
No pyrotechnics
Nor rabid dog
Driverless motors
Or skitso resorts
The blooming white buds
Scatter the floor
The picture show “Crimson”
Staring Zealot’s Whore
I desperately want
It to be King
Or double O seven
Escaping a scene
Then I could
Return the movie
Forget the horrors
Of that day
"We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus -- and nonbelievers."Obama

Good poem.
Happy 9/11 day!
It nearly brought tears to my eyes.
Extremely moving, Brian37. The last two stanzas really got to me.
