9/11/01 to 9/11/11

A decade after...

Most of us could remember the exact moment when we watched the towers crumbled. Most of us. Some of us, doubt it happened. Some of us belief that it was all a conspiracy. It matters not. You cannot hide the fact that almost 3,000 souls lost their life that day. Some of them right if front of us. On television. As they fell off the towers.

Hate, begets hate.

As we seek for the truth, often we overlook the fact that the truth is only true in the eyes of the beholder. As we continue to seek those that sets us apart, we overlook the fact that we are a part of what we seek. The lies that we all hear, are often the truth that we seek comfort in. We are the problem, and we too are the solution. The world has never been peaceful. Not for long anyway.

Peace on earth.

Peace on earth, perhaps belong only to earthworms after it rains. Human-kind are often neither human nor kind. We kill each other in the name of a god that we exchange for currencies, and we slay in names of countries we defend, and ask not whether it wants to be defended upon. We preach in the open, and we pitch in the dark. Deals are made as territories are divided. Kings are hanged, as countries are framed.

A decade later...

It will be more of the same. As bankrupted nations wage war, to sell what they sell best. Stories and tales of horror, in the name of defending against terror, which are shadows they craft as they weave it cloak and dagger. People will die. In the name of human-kind. As they seek humanity, in their own kind. While they proclaim profanity, on anyone of a different mind. Time shall take its toll. And the earth is no longer worth a stroll. For its beyond man nor its kind. As shelter is sought in dogmatic lies and corrupted cronies, in countries that sells stories in return for a place in history.

9/11 isn't just sad because many died. It is also sad because no one learned that it was hate that started it, and hatred too will not end it.

There is no end to what we can discover together if we look together towards incrementally increasing understanding and
peace of mind.
