ROCKOLLECTIONS: 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11- QUESTIONS & POETRY PT.2

Who says Rockollections has no class…besides me, lol?
I will take us into some Poetry this time.
And I am talking Big-Time Poets!
In that Poetic spirit, we will be spending most of out time together with a Two-Letter Word- one that I am sure has been used countless times since the muslim terrorist attacks on Sept. 11th 2011.
The new building at the World Trade Center site was the inspiration for the last song in this chapter- it will be bigger than the Twin Towers were, and the song I have chosen is simply an inspirational winner.
Watching the 9/11 10th Anniversary Commemorations this past weekend, I saw people here crying.
Elsewhere in the world, there was the celebrating of our sadness and the wounds inflicted by the killing and maiming of random, innocent people who were only guilty of going to work on a Tuesday morning.
That doesn’t help me find the Peace I am looking for here.
In fact, quite the opposite!
But I am trying, and maybe these collected tunes will help somebody.
Next week, an uplifting look at adversity.
That’s one aspect I think I have a handle on!
And then there’s this, brought to my attention by my man Neil Cavuto- this gives me hope, guess that is in my DNA too!

Neil Cavuto: Greatest Generation Is Not Gone

I know it’s very easy to get jaded these days.
Maybe even bummed out about humanity and our very future on this planet these days.
And maybe, right now, 10 years out after 9/11, a sense of what we were…we no longer are these days.
Greatness recalled. Then recoiled.
Then something like “this” happens…
A crowd rushing to vehicles on flames in Utah.
But then they discover there’s a guy trapped beneath those flames.
A motorcyclist wedged under a car now burning out of control.
They could have called 9-1-1, but they didn’t.
They take matters into their own hands…and lift the car and pull the unconscious cyclist to safety.
We’re told the cyclist, 21-year-old Brandon Wright, is in stable condition and expected to recover.
The local police chief Jeff Curtis credits the crowd of ‘Good Samaritans’ for that.
He called them heroes.
The one or two I saw quoted simply said they were doing what anyone would do.
Maybe so.
But here’s what’s definitely so…
There’s still a lot of good in a lot of us.
And maybe after seeing so much sadness at ground zero these past few days…I had forgotten that…
…the timelessness of the simple decency in all of us.
Ordinary people who responded to a crisis in an extraordinary way.
Like these people in Utah.
Proof…that while the greatest generation is going…
They’re not gone.
Take a look at these folks.
Look familiar? They’re the greatest generation’s kids, and grand-kids.
Their DNA.
Our DNA.
Life is still good.
We’re still good.

Here’s a link to see what he wrote about.

Longtown Sound 377 - The Sunday Edition
First Thessalonians
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost.
7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
