A Changed Day

by Nicole M. - Gemini

Maybe it's clique
 to bring this up again
something that has been
  done to death
but death is what
  it's all about

while some have sent prayers
  and others drop tears
some have lost their way
 on and off the path

I dare not
 speak
of pain or feelings
  for I have no ground
to speak
  I just saw it
from the security
of my living room
  t.v.

maybe more
  should remember that

it seems to me
  this phrase is swollen
with insensitivity
   we had it coming
tell the families
  the survivors
 the bodies burried
and never recovered

it has gone
  beyond
heart breaking
 and beyond
who's right and wrong

our country
  may not be just
an innocent bystander
 the lost lives are
but those terrorists
  are not

Reason for writing:

    Watching the footage again after everything that has been said and done over a year's time
