Condolences Forever Invoked - 9/11/201

Many unsuspecting innocent lives
unwittingly found themselves
at ground zero
with absolutely no time

to bid loved ones adieu,
and thus with
a metaphorically clangorous
(aire splitting din – bedlam askew

n'er to be silenced),
aye felt near ready,
viz no haw wing,
nor hem ming – waze

farewell call to peace monger...
and arm Matthew
nine one one when
clear out of the blue

a resounding handy
dandy bell lose clue
asper, a fitting notion pain
fully apropos to applaud motley crue

i.e. strangers risk
king life and limb,
would definitely do,
no matter where persons

stationed come thee
ex-tolling bells morrow,
(whence thee fateful
seventeenth anniversary

twill dolefully arrive -
somberly dawning for
survivors and/or next of kin -
less than twenty four

hours from now),
sans unforgettable tragedy
indelibly etched will be recalled
in a blinding
fiery stormy flashback,

where significant lost lives will replay,
when weaponized airplanes
took a kamikaze nose dive
a dwindling cadre,
qua first line of defense,

emergency civilian and/or military
trained personnel jumped
into the blizzard decimated fray,
whereat selfless persons

scurried (helter skelter like)
all abustle analogous
to a outsize bee hive
where 24/7 news

broad casters did air
(nee blast) round
the clock latest bulletins,
could not escape incessant blare

ring frozen like a
life size like sculpture
seated in favorite easy chair
hypnotized by the sheer colossal

utterly incomprehensible dare
devilish a state of emergency,
the then president
(George Walker Bush) did declare

dumb founded, slack jawed,
and wicked deed
waiting for horror
to be recanted as an err

roar overloaded sensory circuits
exceeded threshold,
nonetheless listeners and/or
viewers forced themselves to hear
live coverage far more appalling
than any night mare.
