i saw this message in a site i visit regularly. it isnt mymessage but i thought i should pass it on. im sorry if this upsets
anyone in any way. here it is
This year marks the 9th anniversary of Sept. 11. The date is the same
except that the 01 is now 10. On 9/11/01, the entire world, all
different races, religions and social backgrounds lost love ones. In
that moment, we came together across the world as one united people.
For just a little while, we forgot about differences. I am asking, no
challenging the world to do it once again. I am calling for a day of
Unity on 9/11/10 to commemorate the fact that we proved once that the
world could unite and forget the differences. It does not have to take a
tragedy does it? For just one day, can we not all respect the lives
lost by spending the day across the world forgetting the differences and
being people and nothing more. I am going to write the President of
the US and all the local officials I can as well as churches, and anyone
else I can think of to call for this day of unity with me. I am also
going to post the call on any websites I can and ask them to do the
same. So
everyone, please, not for me, but for the ones who lost their lives and
the ones who lost loved ones on that day. Let us honor them all by
showing that we can come together again for just one day to respect
their memories. Write anyone you can think of, call anyone who may care
and let's see if we can pull this off. In 1996 I wrote a poem that I
would like to see come into being, and I think, no I know, I have faith
that we can for one day see world peace. A day of unity.
Peace
Wouldn'tit
be grand
If we could all understand
That violence isn't theanswer?
Wouldn't it be sweet
If we could all afford to eat
Andhunger
would not be a problem?
Wouldn't it be fine
If wecould all find the time
To help out someone who needs it?
Wouldn'tit
be great
If help never came too late
And sorrow was not anemotion?
And would it take too long
For us to all get along
Andlove
each other for being people?
(Couldn't we do this forjust one day? We did it in the name of tragedy, now let's do it in the
name of Peace)
