PEOPLE OFTHE TOWERS

As the evening sun sets, something is different.
No longer are there shadows on the horizon.
Where once shadows moved across the land,
There is an emptiness.

I speak not of tall buildings that housed the populace,
bu tof the people themselves.
Men, women and even children graced this land.
Tis their shadows I speak of.

Their shadows moved quickly and slowly.
They ran, they jumped, they played.
Voices, laughter and gurgles, innocents all.
Now no more.

Then the people who came to save them,
fearing not for their own lives.
Just doing their jobs in helping less fortunate
They gave their lives heroically.

Left are heartbroken families and friends.
Left are memories of the people.
But, they will live on and be remembered
in the hearts, mynds and souls of those who knew them.

So speake of them, telle their stories to all who will listen.
Share their lives with all. So they be remembered and live on.
Let all who knew them not, come to know,
that they will not be forgotten and live FOREVER.


FOREVER KNIGHT
