Did You Think They'd Forget?

Monitor still down, at the library for my one hour a day (whoo-hooo!!).

Been thinking about this ever since it happened, the words expressing my outrage finally came.

What were you thinking, flying
a plane low against a skyline
familiar with terror from the air?
Oh.  That explains it.  Photo op:
guess that takes precedence

over people's memories of last
time they heard the roar of
engines echoing through the
steel and glass canyons of the
City, while the whole world

watched the smoke and flames
-- did you think they'd forget?  I
haven't, and neither have they --
you should have thought before
you did something so stupid.

(c) 2009, Karla Dorman (5/9)

it seems the American public's fears and nightmares are not important to our government -- publicity and narcissistic acts are where their priorities lie -- great message here Karla -- keep them on their toes and let them know we are watching -- peace and love my friend -- Jon Michael

What do you expect from Obama? Sensibility?
HA Common sense lacks in this administration.

How soon we forget. You're right, Karla: one has to be an idiot, an insensitive idiot, to invade the airspace of 9/11. -gene.

Yes I agree some people have no common sense, to risk ones life for photos, or to prove you can land a plane somewhere is at best idiotic at worst a suicide wish.

Althought I certainly understand the panic and the fear that took place with this incident; I truly believe it was nothing more than a sheer photo op that wasn't thought through well! No one can forget Sept 11th, and altho time does fade certain horrors, we never do get over them....Being so close to the actual place that this atrocity occurred surely had to bring fear again....and then... anger at the carelessness and lack of preparation.. Sometimes mistakes happen, and when they do...they hurt innocent people...altho not intended...I just feel that there is another side to this, lest we forget our own mistakes when we hurt others innocently! Good poem however...and excellent view from your side... hugs, lindalaw

Losing someone on that date, as you know i did, you would be surprised how many people have, while not forgetting it, just kind of let it go, less they walk past ground zero all the time...e

You are right, of course. Though, surely, it couldn't have been intentional.

Sometimes, people tend to forget the things that simply trigger a memory. Time goes by and their guard is let down, and bam, something like this happens and it's in your face all over again.
Poor judgment for sure.

Much peace, love, and light,

I somehow doubt that they'd forget something like September 11, 2001. Once it happened, it stayed in people's minds forever, and it still does today. I know it does for us. And I think the President wasn't using good judgment when he pulled his "little stunt". I still say the guy is an idiot! Well done, rage very well justified!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(
