Aftermath ...... in tribute to the events of September 11th, 2001 .....
There and gone
Slender twins by the water, now ghosts of empty air. Lost but never fading Burned images on my retinas: ashes to ashes, down from the heavens dust upon dust upon dust upon dust crashing, shifting, crumbling, falling clouds and confetti; souls and dreams candles extinguished by powers unseen. Darkness falls heavily Obscuring all reason. Search for answers Emotion blinds sense: no rest in your peace no peace in our rest no sense in their action no action makes sense hate supports hate ignorance breeds division brother kills brother and the terror rolls on Still your outrage, O vengeful masses Lift as in song those purest dreams: Ghandi, King, Lennon our masters of verse. Sing, and sing again; Sing loud and sing strong
