Students' Dedication To 9/11
On the day of the
9/11 memorial, Ms. Spillane made it her aim to get her students motivated to
think about the tragedy of 9/11 and its effect on society. Ms. Spillane showed
them images of art inspired by 9/11, and then told her students to create their
own art. Her lesson: “How can imagery be related to the attacks of September 11th
inspire your art?” brought out inspired pieces from her students.
September 11, 2001
Thousands of lives
lost that day,
Family, friends, all
wiped away
Clouds of darkness
filled the sky,
Tears of sadness
filled their eyes,
The people lost,
never replaced,
No object could ever
fill their space.
Images etched on our
hearts and mind,
Pain and torment of no
other kind,
Some were found,
others lost,
But they all had come
with a similar cost.
Our country is now
scarred with an image so rotten,
An image of an event,
that will never be forgotten.
-Eric Benedetto
Remembering 9/11
As the smoke filled
the air
Tears filled their
eyes
Nowhere to go and
nowhere to hide
Their lives flashed
before their eyes
Frantic pain filled
the streets
It was terrifying to
see
From a sunny day to a
never ending memory
Heartbeats now
becoming a pin drop
In a silent place
Towers now turning to
dust
Our hearts will never
be the same
Heroes died on the
painful day
But in our hearts
they will always remain
So as we reflect on
the damage done
Remember America
united and stood
As
one
