*Ø* Blogmanac September 11 | A modest proposal



As September 11
has come to symbolise
the folly and tragedy of revenge,
we join our friends in many lands
in a day of international mourning
for the myriad wrongs in this beautiful world.

9-11 will, no doubt, be
the world's Day of Mourning for a planet and a people
that have in many ways lost their way,
so this is a good day to recommit
to helping each other find our way back.

Let 9-11 go beyond NYC, beyond even the USA,
and become World Mourning Day.

Today, as we grieve the futile deaths of many people on September 11,
let us also have a minute's silence for the ills of the world
that only people can cure.

And from September 12, as people of goodwill we can begin that work.

A Call for September 11 to be International Mourning Day
