Remember

Remember the smoke that tormented the air,

Like demons waiting for death.

The same smoke that forcefully filled the lungs of our people…

Remember the floors falling endlessly,

From right underneath their feet.

Did you hear the screams?

The pleas for help?

The cries for loved ones?

Do you remember the people who fought

Those demons despite their fear?

Do you remember that horrific day?

Please, remember the lives of those cherished and lost…

Remember that day, when our nation came together in unity,

Despite our differences.

Please –

Remember…
