Tattooed On Our Minds

That date tattooed
In our minds
Moments frozen
In time.
Sorrow lined the
Streets
Ash and rubble
Covered
So many lives
Snuffed Out
For what?
Black, white,
Purple or pink
Color does not
Matter
Evil is blind
To everything
But hate.
We were a nation
Changed that day
As we grieved
Over lives and legacies
Lost.

It's sad poem. It reminds me of Thomas Gray's elegy.
