Five Days Before Hell

Five Days Before Hell

             
I remember what I was doing, exactly seventeen years ago today;
In Old Town, Alexandria Virginia, for some business and some play!
I was visiting my very close friends, Fiona and Gavin Korn;
She had an Antique Shop on Cameron Street, fine art the walls adorned!
.
He was the head Attorney, for the F.B.I.’s DEA;
It turned out that that Thursday, was a very special day!
They had captured the number 2 drug lord, in all the whole wide World;
It had taken two years to nab him, the Agency’s elation swirled!
.
So after Fiona and I did our business, we drove down to the F.B.I.;
We were going to a dinner celebration, at a nice restaurant nearby!
Over thirty of us sat outside, we drank and ate fine food;
Everyone with smiles and lots of laughter, all in a real great mood!
.
But five days later, on that Tuesday, our lives forever changed;
The Twin Towers went down with thousands, victims of hijacked planes!
From happiness to horror, our Nation then shed its tears;
As we cried for fallen Americans, and loved ones very dear!
.
.
                               A sunny Tuesday
                     Became the darkest of days
                                 In our History

Dear Greg,

Disgusting isn't it.  They take everything for granted, and think that life is one big joke.  There is nothing more gratifying, than to meet one of the few who really get it.

Peace and Love,
