Where Do We Go From Here?
By Caroline
A tragic event occurred in
September
Should we now go on as usual?
Or remember, remember,
remember?
Many things have changed, but
Our daily habits remain the same.
Remember, remember,
remember
Going to school, shopping, sports
The same as before the planes
came.
Remember, remember,
remember
The planes that killed thousands.
Will it now be safer forever?
Is all the extra security helping?
We'll all remember the World
Trade Center forever and ever
Where Do we Go from Here?
By Maya
Where do we go from here?
Now that our lives have been
changed forever
What do we do now?
Considering what happened in
September
Do we put our lives on hold?
Change the direction and path
Give up on all our dreams?
Cause what happened in the past
When two towers fell
We couldn't believe our eyes
Just thinking about all who died
Makes us all want to cry
Where do we go from here?
Do we go into ourselves?
And forget about life
Do we just let them win?
And live life filled with strife
Now we don't
This is what we do
We cry
We laugh
We move
We fly
We remember our dreams
We don't put our lives on hold
We find hope
We live
We love
And most importantly
We move on
Where Do we go From Here?
By Samantha
Where do we go from here?
A question that puzzles us all.
Did this act of terror really
happen?
Or was it all a gruesome
nightmare?
But what happens if it wasn't in
our minds?
What happens if everything did
occur?
Do we pretend nothing happened?
Do we change our ways?
Where do we go from here?
What do we feel?
Do we feel sorrow?
Do we feel joy?
What do we do?
Do we go to school?
Or do we stay home?
Do we travel?
Or do we not go anywhere?
Do we cry?
And if so are they tears of joy
Or tears of pain?
Do we help?
Or do we only care about
ourselves?
Well here's an answer
We live life to the fullest
We cry
We move
We travel
We help
We comfort
We live
We remember
And finally
We move on.
