I think the sending of the poem in itself was unfair to us Americans who were shaken up by the events of that unforgettable day. We have all heard of the horrific things that have occurred thru-out history. Genocide, slavery, holy war, bizarre events that leave us speechless and at times questioning our own beliefs. We are taught about these moments in school, we read about them, we study them, some of us even know people who have survived those awful occurrences. Many of you on the museum list even have exhibits cataloging such events. That in itself is a way of offering remembrance and respect to those who have experienced such. What I interpreted from that poem was that the person who wrote it seems to feel that 9/11 was not as meaningful an event as those I mentioned, therefore it seems too cruel to post. Especially on a day like today. We, as Americans, must always remember the day that our security was breeched. The day we were all faced with the horror & realization that what we watch on the news day after day isnıt only happening in other countries. On September 11th that reality knocked on our front doorsteps and woke us up from our pleasant slumber. As a New Yorker I can honestly say that the silence that overcame my city on 9/11 and the days that followed... was deafening. Anyone who was here, will know exactly what Iım talking about.
