that there were some hijackings,

　　no one had any idea why.

　　The dilemma was that there were no warnings,

　　no demands for ransom,

　　and no hints that this bright,

　　sunny September morning was about

　　to become a day that will live forever

　　in the minds of those

　　who witnessed the tragedy.

　　It will be years

　　before the final toll of damage

　　will be known.

　　To consolidate information,

　　compute the financial losses,

　　designate a monetary value for loss of life,

　　fill the void left on the terrain,

　　to make sense of this misfortune

　　intended to undermine the foundation of America

　　is a formidable assignment.

　　We do know that

　　destruction of the World Trade Center

　　cost the lives of more than

　　three thousand innocent people

　　in the buildings, in the hijacked airplanes,

　　and in the surrounding streets.

　　Who can erase the mental images of those planes

　　smashing into the twin towers?

　　Who is unable to visualize the spectacle

　　of terrified men and women
