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
