The Choices We Make (9/11 Poem)

What do you do?
What's next when your whole world comes crashing down around you?
Are you frozen in fear, the only action available to watch?
Are you frantically searching for a way to make things right?
Do you comfort those around you? The ones that are in a worse state of shock than you are?
What happens when you lose someone you love?
When it all comes down, what are you to do?
Will you be broken?
Or have the courage to shout against tyranny?
Bond together against the forces of evil?
This would be the choice of true Americans.
Remember the moments of serenity.
Keep hope that some day everything will be just the way it should be.
Don't show signs of weakness.
Let them all hear the shouts of the people of
The land of the Free, and the home of the Brave

For my hero, and the friend I'll never see again

End
