Barrier of Thunder

Searching the shortest path to earth Elementary theoretical physics Sat watching in wonder the greatest show on earth I just saw lightning strike the mast of the north tower come stroke of midnight And even though it was covered in low lying cloud from the 50th floor up It made it visible by bathing it by it's strikes violent afterglow Nature's way of reminding us the power it wields by means of a common everyday weather phenomena Countless many times more powerful than any passanger or war plane

Thought provoking write Christopher, but on the grand scale now we have nukes, there will never be a winner, only mutual destruction is guaranteed, hate is indeed a dirty business, and I agree guilt can be even more destructive, great writing, cheers David
