"Haiku Tribute To 911"

Amidst the rubble
The cross of Christ still stands strong
A symbol of hope

The concrete crumbled
The steel beams melted and fell
But still, Life goes on

Our things are destroyed
Turned to rubble on the street
But still, Life goes on


So much death we’ve seen
Yet memories linger on
Of Love imparted

Families and friends mourn
Loved ones now gone from this place
But Love lingers on

Men…who now wield fate
Give them wisdom from above
Impart Life and Love

"A Child Living in Iraq"

I live in a place where war occurs;
Killing seems normal to me.
I live in a place where people fight;
Hatred seems normal to me.
I live in a place where people are killed;
Death seems normal to me.
I live in a place that’s bombed and burnt;
Ugly seems normal to me.
I live in a place where children die;
Hopelessness seems normal to me.
I live in a place some say doesn’t exist;
But hell seems normal to me.
