Poems - My 9-11 -- People - Falling Down Like Rain
| | My 9-11 -- People - Falling Down Like Rainby jonniblaze
For Us All
People - Falling Down Like Rain
See the dark clouds
streaming by
across the morning sky
Dark pillars
rising up
from this burning pyre
Hear the thunder
See the flames
See people Jumping
Falling
Falling down
like rain
See the lightning strike again
Hear the thunder
feel the pain
See people falling
falling down like rain
Ahhh
never be the same
never be the same
No
never be the same
I swear
this will never
happen here again
We will never be the same
See the towers
burning
falling
Hear the towers
crashing down in thunder
Blinding
Burning
Ash and Smoke
Footsteps running
Drawing close
Desperation
in Their Cries
Faces Torn with Fear
and I
Stand here
watching coldly
in a hotel lobby
smoking a cigarette
see it on
the giant screen
watching as it happens
and some they cry
sobbing lowly
some in anger
shout ignobly
tears flowing
from my eyes
my anger boiling
deep inside
we watch the towers
burning
falling
falling down
like grain
See the lightning strike again
Hear the thunder
feel the pain
See people falling
falling down like rain
Ahhh
never be the same
never be the same
No
never be the same
I swear
this will never
happen here again
We will never
be the same
In autumn fields
of golden grain
Thunder marks
the Heroes' plane
Shed our tears
for all the lost
Never knowing
their true cost
See the lightning strike again
hear the thunder
feel the pain
see people falling
falling down like rain
Ahhh
never be the same
never be the same
No
never be the same
We Swore
this will never
happen here again
this will never
happen here
never
ever
again

jonni your discriptions in stanza's 4 & 5 are so true of the folks I saw watching this tragedy unfold...The sombre tone within this is greatly felt and although I cant believe there can ever be enough words to discribe how so many feel about this, you have done a darn good job of it... I pay you Big Respects for this piece as it could not have been easy... Top Marks well deserved...Stay safe...Woods...

thanks woodster
i suppose for me 9/11 is like
the day President Kennedy was shot and killed
i know exactly where i was and what i was doing
and i remember my thoughts and feelings from that day
thanks for your time and your review.
all the best
jonni

i watched this live jonni. at first i didn't realise what i was watching, when i saw people jumping from the towers. i thought it was just debris falling from the towers, till i put my glasses on, and saw the full horror - take care ghostrider - paul.
