Back To Business

By Starlene Stringer
 

Business as usual?

Huh! That would be fine…

If we could erase all the images

Forever stamped in our minds

But since we can’t go back

Since we can’t erase time

We still see the horror

When we close our eyes

Planes hitting buildings

And crashing in the ground

Bodies jumping from windows

Structures crumbling down

People running and screaming

From devastation all around

When you turn on the TV

You see it time and again

We hear it on the radio

And they warn- this may not be the end

Business as usual?

Yeah! That would be great

But that’s not realistic

Knowing people are still filled with such hate.
