NINE ELEVEN

What major historical events do you remember?

Twenty and two years lies in

the back garden,

Where the whole world assembled

in that castle,

A day that forced the world

to her knees,

As the world trade fare crumbled

And many sent to their early grave.

The wickedness of the heartless

was in the sky,

As the thunderous blast tore

down the world house,

World wailed at the waiting

talking screen

Not a single country was left

out of mourning,

A day when the devil and the world

dine together at the gate of hell,

The wound still looks fresh on the

bereaved families and friends.

Two decades and two years was

an history untold,

Should humanity lives in the

hearts of all

That demon wouldn’t have wrecked

havoc on fellow men,

Hatred has no resting room, where

love has no room left unoccupied,

9/11, we will remember till

our last breath.

To the lost souls we placed

our solidarity,

By their grave yards,

To the bereaved families,

we pray for a renewed comfort

To the sponsors of wickedness

and terrorism,

We admonish them to choose

humanity over fanaticism,

Let the world come to understand

That good neighborliness is

without hatred,

That humanity first,

before religionism,

That peace as nothing to do

with war or violence,

That tolerance is the only virtue

that keeps us in bond despite

our different faces,

That one evil act begat another

horrendous one,

That diplomacy without love

is an act of war.

As we bring 9/11 to mind,

We also weep over the vulnerable

Israel and Palestine

Let us embrace love for all

and hatred for none.
