Ground Hog Daze

This sad anniversary

I don't wanna remember

but can't ever forget

Always the media show
as politicos scurry to and fro
to get that coveted photo op 

Victim families on display
to validate that tragic day 

Welcome
to our annual scab picking

as the pain flows freely
from the forever scar
gouged out at ground zero

that I fear
will never heal properly
