Today is a day I barely remember
Everyone says that people were lost
I understand that but what is the purpose
Why do we continue to grieve
Why do we lose ourselves in something
This was almost two decades ago
Yet here we are remembering
All those lost
Those who were injured
And the falling of the towers
America why is it that we remember
Just the pain
What were we speaking of that day
What were you doing
They ask
When the towers fell
I don't recall I say
They look disappointed
In all truths I do not understand
Why we are grieving
Even though we are told to continue
To move on when we loose someone
So why is it that we grieve over this
Nothing else not the day we lost thousands
In wars and things of the like
So why is it Today is so much more important
Can you tell me?
Why Today
Today is 9/11 of 2018 and all I could think of when we were discussing it in classes over the years.
