A Challenge for the World. I Need Your Help!! Please!
This year marks the 9th anniversary of Sept. 11. The date is the same except that the 01 is now 10. On 9/11/01, the entire world, all different races, religions and social backgrounds lost love ones. In that moment, we came together across the world as one united people.
For just a little while, we forgot about differences. I am asking, no challenging the world to do it once again. I am calling for a day of Unity on 9/11/10 to commemorate the fact that we proved once that the
world could unite and forget the differences. It does not have to take a tragedy does it?
For just one day, can we not all respect the lives lost by spending the day across the world forgetting the differences and being people and nothing more. I am going to write the President of the US and all the local officials I can as well as churches, and anyone else I can think of to call for this day of unity with me. I am also going to post the call on any websites I can and ask them to do the same. So everyone, please, not for me, but for the ones who lost their lives and
the ones who lost loved ones on that day. Let us honor them all by showing that we can come together again for just one day to respect
their memories. Write anyone you can think of, call anyone who may care and let's see if we can pull this off. In 1996 I wrote a poem that I would like to see come into being, and I think, no I know, I have faith
that we can for one day see world peace. A day of Unity.

Peace

Wouldn't it be grand
If we could all understand
That violence isn't the answer?

Wouldn't it be sweet
If we could all afford to eat
And hunger would not be a problem?

Wouldn't it be fine
If we could all find the time
To help out someone who needs it?

Wouldn't it be great
If help never came too late
And sorrow was not an emotion?

And would it take too long
For us to all get along
And love each other for being people?


(Couldn't we do this for just one day? We did it in the name of tragedy, now let's do it in the
name of Peace)
