my take on recent events

Here's what the muse woke me up with this morning.

Bonny Twin Towers
ttto: Bonny Portmore
lyrics (c) Arlene "Callie" Hills, Sept 2001

Oh bonny twin towers, I am sorry to see
Such a mournful destruction of your proud majesty For you stood on our shores for many's the long day Til in a morning fraught with terror, you were blotted away.

Oh bonny twin towers, dust clouds rise from where you stood and the search for life continues 'midst the shattered glass and wood Overhead the skies are silent, but for guardsmen at their task And the loss of lives and futures is too staggering to grasp.

All the people in the country, they bitterly weep Keeping vigil for the victims, seeking answers, losing sleep For in two of our great cities, nodes of power are cut down And the towers of the harbor are all down to the ground.

Oh bonny twin towers, dust clouds rise from where you stood and the search for life continues 'midst the shattered glass and wood Now our nation mourns in silence, soon the world shall hear the sound As we rise in righteous fury to grind terror into the ground.
