Acrostic (World Trade Center) Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

W hen tragedy struck on 9/11/01
O ur world changed forever but we will
R emember all the
L oved ones who died on that
D evastating day when

T wo thousand, nine hundred eighty-five souls fell in the
R ubble of destruction.
A bout 50,000 people worked at the World Trade Center; its
D ust and smoke and panic and loss
E ffected the lives of people all over the planet. Their

C ourage in the face of such an act
E clipsed the hatred that flew into the
N orth tower which was 1,368 feet high.
T hen the south tower at 1,362 feet fell and no one could
E xplain such a horror that could
R e-shape the lives of an entire world in one event.
