On this day
Seventeen years ago
19 magical Arabs
Hijacked 4 airplanes
–
Crashed 2 into
Tall WTC towers
Others, the Pentagon
And Pennsylvanian field
–
None were intercepted
Jets didn’t fly
Or flew elsewhere
The world watched
–
Firefighters and Policemen
Janitors Architects Chieftain,
Jews Muslims Christian
Flew unto heaven
–
As the people
Who’d planned this
Claimed that they’d
Higher moral ground
–
Revenge flew swiftly
Millions murdered bloodily
And parents cried
As children died
–
Demons
Walk
The
Earth
–
And spirits fight,
As we must:
Till we die,
The Big Lie.
~ Naseer Ahmad
