    About this ebook

    One of the most horrific events in contemporary history occurred on September 11th, 2001. Those who lived it will never forget. However, as so often in history, the next generation can no longer relate. Is that why horror continues on earth? How many more events like 9/11 have to happen for people to start living in peace? This small collection of poems written on the day when the towers fell, is a small tribute to remembering.
