Terror in America – 9/11
Time exploded, yet again
In the face of hapless humankind
Desecrating the edifice of democracy
Another country, another place
They cry “blood – another world!”
Is it love, a bomb, a knife…
Is this war?
The spirit of Nostradamus runs amok
To capture the brave hearts
Issuing Fatwas against themselves
They come, they’re here
“Jihad” – they cry
Is it love, a hijack, four airplanes…
Is this war?
Days of mourning, and sleepless nights
Terrorized nations, terrorized people
And stunned the world over
They advance in soundless possession
“More” – they’re insatiable
Is it love, an explosion, two buildings…
Is this war?
Dead people alive in the rubble
Kicking concrete, eating steel
And families lost forever
Hundred Thousand human frailties
“Enough” – the rogues, we warn
Is it love, a citizen, a nation…
Is this war?
