SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

On September 11, I saw
people fly to heaven.
Passengers and crew on
commercial airliners.
Others climbed
heaven’s steps:
police, firemen.
Rescuers sped
there on ambulance.
Office workers leapt into
God’s waiting Arms.
Restaurant workers and
window washers
entered through the
Windows of the World.
A priest arrived
there on his knees,
as he ministered
last rites to others.
Brave souls fought
through hell’s fires,
to reach the
destination
via New York,
Pennsylvania, DC.
Celestial gates
opened to
welcome
3,000 souls,
according to
Divine Plan
... not man’s.
For what the
hijackers so
carefully and
evilly planned,
was hijacked
by God
that day.
