Five Years Is Not Enough

To forget
Silent Twins
who held worlds in their arms
with dreams of the American way.

Memories—
violent flashbacks
which explode on impact
vaporize reality.

No,  five years is not enough!
To ease the pain.

To forget the images—
the inferno of liquid flames that licked
unmercifully—
causing victims to leap without faith
with hopes of instance forgiveness.
Victims who in their last breath
exhaled, God save me!  

No,  five years is not enough!
To grieve.

For family, friend and strangers
who remains are only memories.
And for we, who survived,
stand, soot faced
in a graveyard of lost dreams,
theirs        and ours.

No,  five years is not enough!
To forget.

No, five years is not enough!

To end the nightmare of this evil travesty.

It is true, 5 years is not enough. This year, the media tried to make less of it, it seemed as if we were expected to turn off our emotions just because it has been 5 years. It seems that we are being told that we need to forgive the beasts who did this to so many people for no reason other than to cause pain and distruction. They (terrorists) don't want anything from us, theirs is simply the thrill of the kill and then to leave the carcus to rot in the blazing sun. How do civilized people ever forgive that complete lack of regard for human life? They have nothing to really gain, I guess that is why it is called terrorism. Excellent pen, Tracey. Thank you for having the courage to come forward and say what, I am certain most America feel in their hearts. There will never be enough time for us to forgive and there will never be enough tears to wash away the pain.
Take care,
Sherry
