Neal's writings on the events of September 11, 2001, vividly capture his profound anger and deep sorrow. Like many, he was overwhelmed by shock, struggling to accept the reality unfolding before him. As he watched the tragedy on the television screen, his initial reaction was disbelief, his mind grappling with the notion that it must be a hoax. Tragically, it was not. The senselessness of the act defied comprehension.

With pen and paper in hand, Neal channeled his emotions-venting his frustration, shedding tears, and turning to prayer. Some of his poems were composed in the moment, as events unfolded, while others emerged during pauses when he stepped away from the television, seeking to process the overwhelming scenes. Even now, his words continue to reflect the enduring grief and emotional weight of that day.
