THIS NINE ELEVEN

Today One World Collective holds its breath;

Humanity is not the same as then.

Inside the greatest nation airborne death,

Succinct as a sound bite gnashed through CNN,

(No quick undo) came roaring from the sky

Igniting every mind with fear and rage,

(No fast rewind) the haunting question why

Encrypted into every coded page.

Encrypted into every coded page,

Lies one non-blank reality of hate;

Encrypted into every coded page,

Voluminous precursors of our fate.

Enjoy no more the towering views of youth,

No more the innocence of easy truth.
