All Fear is One
On the PBS NewsHour tonight was poet Lucille Clifton, reading from her poem “September Songs, A Poem in Seven Days.” My own transcription:
Tuesday, 9/11:
Thunder and lightning and our world is another place.
No day will ever be the same,
No blood untouched.
They know this storm in other wheres:
Israel, Ireland, Palestine,
But God has blessed America, we sing.
And God has blessed America,
To learn that no one is exempt.
The world is one.
All fear is one.
All life, all death, all one.
