Take these steps, they lead to people,
People whose work was a way of life.
Papers pieced together by dust clouds
Billowing through streets of strife,
Now make us raise the question why:
Why is it that these lives were lost,
can this red tape litter count the cost?
Our thoughts follow the yellow bands
That cordoned off this hellish place.
May image 1116 and others serve as
A reminder of what 0911 made us face.
Memories dwell at the top of the stairs:
This is where, this is where
Our lives reach out to theirs.
– William Greenaways, 2002.
