Silent Vigil

By heinzs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Light the candle.. Let it shine for all the souls snuffed out by the terrorists' whim. Hug your children... Make it count for all those children who'll ne'er be hugged again. Kiss your partner... Live the passion for all those now bereaved whose loved ones' lips lie cold. Pray for peace... Don't let this heinous act propel us into global conflict. Response in kind only furthers the evil goal. Self-martyr'd, self-righteous... only they can win. Their will must be denied. Unite your wills... strengthen your resolve that the evildoers' seeds shall not bear their bitter fruit. Let the lives lost cauterize our purpose, and the final outcome be a World united for one goal. Let sanity and reason the hatemongers derail, and in the coming season may love and peace prevail. 9/11/2001 Written September 11th, 2001 © on Oct 24 2001 03:10 PM PST, Heinz Scheuenstuhl    0 • 12
