Yes, we still remember.....
Sep. 11th, 2006 09:22 pmI don't know if Christine Lavin has done -- or will ever write -- a 9/11 song. But I was thinking about "The Dakota" today, which covered a different, more personal tragedy. And so, with songwriting pen in hand.....
Okay, it doesn't exactly rhyme. But after all the news coverage and retrospectives, I'm starting to get depressed. After 9/11/01, I was in a deep blue funk for two weeks. I don't remember much from that time, but I remember going to work and coming home.
The rescue workers are still dealing with the health issues they incurred that day, and the days after. Respiratory problems, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). It's saddening and angering that they're not getting the full medical coverage they deserve.
Screw the news. I'm gonna watch some Spongebob instead.
Every time I see the Twin Towers
I think about that day
Planes went down, the buildings fell
Three thousand died, they say
Well, it's something we shouldn't dwell upon,
But it's something we shouldn't forget.
Too many good folks have been cut down,
Let's pray this won't happen again.
