On Sept 11, 2024 I wrote May The Towers Stand after seeing a number of eloquent tributes commemorating the anniversary of the horrific attacks of 9/11. I'm not eloquent, but this had been bouncing around my head that day and I thought I'd share it once again. #september11

A background image of a United States flag with the words of a poem superimposed on it. The poem, MAY THE TOWERS STAND, was written by Richard Quist on Sept 11, 2024. The text of the poem reads:
MAY THE TOWERS STAND

Do you remember how you felt, the day the Towers fell?
The dreadful fear, astonishment, the tolling of the bell?
Somehow we came together, we were united, standing strong.
And vowed to help each other move
beyond this wretched wrong.

What we didn't count on, what we never planned,
Were personalities and politics, replacing United We Stand.
Instead of each and everyone, supporting one another,
We found ourselves separating
"Our Side" from “The Others”.

Where once we would disagree with passion and respect,
Thoughtful, civil discourse fell to violence and neglect.
Perhaps it's time to change our path, to take a different tack.
Care and open-mindedness,
in place of anger and attack.

Perhaps today will be the day, we make a solemn vow,
To set aside our differences, and stand together now.
The day we pledge to one another, all divisiveness be banned.
Then in our dreams, our souls, our world,
The Towers yet may stand.

-- Richard Quist, 2024--

It's tragic that the person who wrote what is arguably one of the most impactful book series of the last 50+ years - a series that emphasized accepting people for who they were and the enabling power of love - is also a huge supporter of hate and bigotry
