Remember how once
Solidarity...this day
Once united us.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

That "once" was so sad. Truly a devastating day 🥺
Very powerful!
I think about how we were once united by adversity, then think of now
Once...i like that you repeated it in a little haiku. Because like Rick says, leadership of a nation plays a great role in the mood of its people. And the mood today is one of unrest and uncertainty. The weather is acting up. We have to be strong for one another. Love the message. we remember.
I remember well how we all united no matter which side of the fence you’re from, no matter your religious beliefs, no matter your political beliefs, no matter whether you were rich or poor - we all came together. I may be wrong in saying this, but I feel that if something like 9/11 were to happen today (I do not wish such a horrible event to happen again) but if it were I don’t think with the current leaders we have that we would unite. I believe we would be divided even more and that would be happening because of those that are in charge of our government these days. So sorry for being so bleak and dark about this but that’s just the feeling that I get. Thank you for writing such an insightful and important haiku. You said mountains with very few words.
