NGO DUC DIEM ___________________________ GROUND ZERO
In commemoration of the 9/11 victims Ground Zero, ashes piling up so high Blood of rancor boiling
clouds in the sky No heart, no love
and no justice Human bodies toasted into flame of hate Ground Zero, dust of life spreads all around With sufferings human fate ironically crowned No smile, no kiss leaving lips in emptiness Wedding gowns and beds mourning speechless Ground Zero, rain falling down in drops Dreams and wishes vapor in vanishing smokes No rendez-vous, no words and no prayers Along the sidewalk human love fading away Ground Zero, life exhausted piece by piece Souls of beloved ones quietly vanished Without a last word they suddenly disappear Goddess of Liberty lowers her torch in tears Ground Zero, a morass full of repentance Time wasting for shame and indifference No love, red lips gradually fading down Next life, its not too late anyhow Ground Zero, land of ephemeral
Ups and downs, its the truth of life eternal Not to be ignorant nor fondly attached Poems forever poured abundantly over the grass Ngo Duc Diem 9/11/01 · THE WRITERS POST (ISSN: 1527-5467),
