Topic: Two Towers

I was in two minds as to whether I should post this poem after reading some of the other comments earlier today. But here goes, as we all know, the world is dictated to by meglomaniacs, and death and destruction are almost the norm in very many parts of this planet. A truly sad and pitiful state of affairs.


TWO  TOWERS        BUVVY        20-07-09

TWO  TOWERS
STANDING  TALL
TWIN  PEAKS
SYMBOL  OF  A  NATIONS’  PRIDE
SOLID  AS  ROCK
ABLE  TO  WITHSTAND
ANY  SHOCK
MORTAR  AND  BRICKS
AMERICA’S  SYMBOLS
THERE  WERE  NO  TRICKS
STANDING  TALL
FOR  ALL  TO SEE
SYMBOLS  OF  STRENGTH
FOR  YOU  AND  FOR  ME
HOUSING  MANY  OFFICES  OF  PRIDE
EMPLOYMENT  FOR  MANY
EVEN  COUNTRY  WIDE
BUT  A  PLOT  WAS  HATCHED
TO  WRECK  THE  SYMBOLS
OF  THE  USA’S  TWIN  TOWERS
TO  REDUCE  THEM  TO  RUBBLE
TO  REMOVE  THEM  FROM  SIGHT
TO  TURN  THEIR  MEANING
INTO  HUMAN  PLIGHT
PLANES  WERE  DESPATCHED
LUNATICS  TOO
THE  PILOTS  WERE  KILLED
MADMEN  TOOK  THE  REINS
OF  THE  USA’S  INNOCENT  PLANES
SUICIDE  OR  MURDER
IS  THERE  A DIFFERENCE
ALL  SANE  MEN  CRY
WHY  IN  GOD’S  NAME
DID  SO  MANY  DIE
SOME  LANDS  REJOICED
SOME LANDS  CRIED
TODAY  IS  THE  DAY
THAT  FREEDOM  HAS  DIED
MANY  TEARS  WERE  SHED
FOR  THE  INNOCENT  DEAD
MEMORIALS  WERE  HELD
REJOICING  TOO
SO  MANY  LIVES
TORN  TO  A  SHRED
BUT  THE  TIME  WILL COME
SAY  MANY  SANE  MEN
WHEN  REVENGE  WILL COME
SWIFT  AND  JUST
FOR  THE  SOLDIERS’  OF  GOD
IN  THEM  ALL  FAIR  MEN
BESTOW  THEIR  TRUST
EVIL  MEN  WITH  EVIL  MINDS
CAN  NOT  LAST  LONG
SAY  THE  ANGELS  OF  GOD
THEIR  TIME  WILL COME
AS  SURELY  AS  NIGHT  FOLLOWS  DAY
FOR  THEM  TO  FALL  TO  THEIR  KNEES
AND  SAY  LET’S  PRAY
WILL  NO  MORE  WORK
ON  JUDGEMENT  DAY

Keep on Rocking and remember Animals Feel Pain Too.

Re: Two Towers

That day is etched in my mind like J F Kennedys death.

Sal and i had just left our business premises to go to the airport social club for lunch. It was a glorious sunny day i remember.
There were people everwhere looking in shop windows at TV displays.  We were trying to figure out from my car what this fuss was about .We had not heard a thing. We were a holistic business so no radio or televisions on the premises..
I remember being rooted to the spot on hearing what had happened. Time was in slow motion as thoses planes did there damage  it seemed over and over, as the news looped the same  awful image over and over.

Fear filled my soul as i tried to make contact with family and friends who worked in the banking world there. One young nephew was in flight at that time back to the Emerald. It was one long waiting gane. He came home safe. iIwish i could say the same for so many more that day.

That deed held nothing positive. Other then it killed so many innocent people, left minds and hearts destroyed for ever.

May the innocent rest in peace.

Thank you" Buvvy for posting.
