Mohammad Navab writes: Our 13-year-old Anahita is a student at Palms Middle school in Los Angeles. On Tuesday their teacher asked them to write a poem on the tragedy. This is her poem:

Some man emerged

Out of the

Smoke.

Said he had been carrying

Some guy

No skin left on him

My friends laughed.

Disgusted

But I smiled anyway.

"I have friends in New York"

Nothing seemed real

Until I could see Maggie

Bleeding, Katie

Not able to get up

Donšt want to hear

It anymore.

I feel guilty

Smiling today.

Laughter seems insane!

September 11, 2001.

Sounds like the

Newest rage song

Something kids will

Be rapping out

Give it a few days

The next Pearl Harbor movie

Give it a few days

It won't be real anymore
