Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

The day they died

My imagination was there;

Within the walls. 

The  information billowed 

like a toxic plume

The weary of hart

gasping for untruths 

The strong,bracing;

For the deluge

Bated breaths, silence 

Cut through the hum. 

Screams;

Within the walls,living

They are not immortal. 

Under the sediment 

Life falls silent

My imagination walks

Ladened, in history’s guilt.

Hi Cynthia,thanks for your comment on my poem. I have read your poem today and agree there is a similarity of thought in both poems.

I think this is excellent, a fine perspective well written. I hadn't seen it before today. If you care to, you might read my posting of today, Sunday. I cannot believe the similarity of thought.
