remembrance

we sit in a quiet pool of tears,
saddened by loss,
humbled by fears.
we think of the world,
since that terrible day.
we ask ourselves,
why has the bad not
gone away.
for ages and ages
others have asked that,
too.
the answer is up to us...
the mes and the yous.

so rest in peace
those who today are
not here.
and to those of us
who are,
peace is our mission,
quite clear.
