Only
four days after the tragic events in New York and Washington DC,
the CyberArts X party offered San Francisco a place to gather
and to share thoughts and feelings about the seemingly senseless
acts.

In
the distance, CyberArts X event features the Healing Haiku Wall.
Selected entries reproduced below. |
The more pain
we feel
The stronger we can become
Love is all you need |
My
innocence lost
Eyes burning watching TV
September 11 |
Life
out of balance
All burning and collapsing
What does it all mean? |
To peace warriors:
We're totally surrounded
No means of escapeŠ |
I love you
New York
I weep for you New York
I pray for you to heal New York |
Invincible
towers
Poor man's cruise missile
Vengeance of insanity |
Many hearts
broken
Spirit of America reborn
What a wake up call |
Anger from
the skies
Sorrow's madness bears strange fruit
Shadows drift like cloud |
Such rage
my frustrate!
Followed by desire to pluck
Their lives live daisies |
We are still
alive
Creating a peaceful world
In which we'll survive |
What the world
needs now
Is Love, love, love, love, love
Does the world know how? |
Before we
can have love
We must have safety, so
We do what we must |
Exploding
cultures
The emptiness of the void
Shockwaves in the heart |
Days
and days we cry
How can we know what to do
Tomorrow may show |
Tomorrow's
landscape
Day by day media rains (reigns)
Ceaselessly praying |
Kid pokes
me with stick
Maim kid, kill his parents
Maybe overkill? |
Television
blitz
Freedom's reward repossessed
A sad sacrifice |
Fall is all
anew
Cold is what we gather for
Let us be warm now |
Fear's scattered
embers
The fickle flame contorting
Fight or flight response |
As dear Gandhi
said
An eye-for-an-eye
And soon we would all be blind |
From out of
the ash
Will arise again anew
Hope for world peace |
Violence breeds
hate
In human memory and hearts
Compassion is faith |
End the suffering
On both sides of the bombing
Then we have a chance |
Capital tower
Draws the vicious hate mongers
Attack our "freedom?" |
|
Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria moriŠ
Sic transit gloria mundi
|
Payback
is a mother-fuckerŠ
America finally come home to roost
(Malcolm X) |
Strength
is what we are
Courage is what we all know
And so we shall RISE! |
Power towers
bloom
Into flame and smoke flowers
Flying glass showers |
Standing stone
dissolves
Breathed from an enemy's hand;
Illumination rises |
Twin sisters
topple
A flood of tears falls before
Brotherhood rises |
|
Our eyes open wide
Melting our hearts together
Trust more than ever
|
|
I always have a choice
in any moment, to believe my fear is real, or my ability to have
compassion is real.
|
|
Why is it ok to tell children
"not to fight" while grown-ups make war?
|
|
In separation, judgement,
segregation. We crumbleŠ
United we rebirth in awareness of recognition of our true values.
New beginnings transofrmation.

Nostradamus said: "When
in York, the sisters go in flamesŠ
Now we are tested to stay conscious in our heartsŠ
