We watch on TV
As the horror unfolds
It’s Breakfast in America
Lunchtime in England
We watch as the towers burn
Great plumes of smoke
Blackening the sky
Flames burn unchecked
Metal buckles and windows break
Bodies fall like rag dolls
Tumbling earthward
And hit the portico
We watch the pictures
Dumbstruck at this surreal scene
And await news
Of other flying bombs
We watch through tear stung eyes
As a tower falls
Collapsing like a house of cards
Killing the rescued and the rescuers
While in Palestine they dance
The women cheer
The men shoot guns
The children jump with joy
And laughter rings round
In the echoes of the gunfire
As the innocent die
Palestine Dance’s
