NINE ELEVEN 2006
You get rid of bad habits
by replacing them with good
It may be the same with pictures
One hundred years ago
on September eleventh 1906
Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi
stood up before 3000 Hindus and Moslems
in the Empire Theater in Johannesburg
With Satyagraha – The Force of Truth
they pledged under God to defy an unjust law
without use of violence, despite consequences
I don’t want, or expect, to forget the lessons
or math and aftermath of September 2001
But I hope peace comes first to my mind
the next time the number comes up
