Headlines

Believe me, Just watching my TV News Flash!! Skyjack! New York City Centre,Jet Crash. Check that. News Call,Broadcast stall. Drop the headlines!! This is the new line Look up on the Skyline Flash,Bash,Crash Right on the building top. Biff Baff!! Heart attack!! On another line Pentagon now a exagon Another plane drop. Whats that?whats that? Beam in on the spot. Another streak across the sky Sliiced another tower Question asked. Why,Why,Why? Whats going on?Whats going on? Another crash,big explosion Switch broadcast over to Washington Whats your impression? Whats your emotion. Bystanders, commentators, confusion "Whats your reaction"? Can't believe my eyes J Just as it began,I realize This is an atrocity Right here,in the heart of the city. Terrorist Attack!!Terrorist Attack!! Then the burning Walls a falling Like crashing dominoes Right to the ground. Limbless, Lifeless, a giant fallen. Armagadeon has arrived,without warning!! CIA, FBI,Home Security Then the Guv Connecting,Enquiring Blaming intelligence,asking why. Collate and evaluate Then the appropriate reply. Calling the president for a comment. "What do you think of unfolding events"? "WE will find the perpetrators one by one Whether he is hiding in Iraq,Iran, or Pakistan. We will call up the troops,assembly the galleon, Then bomb them ,blast them Clean up their land, Bring in new administrations, Thats the plan Fireman, Policemen,all on the scene "This is total disaster,the worst we ever seen. Engines,sirens,surgeons and volunteers Combining efforts in a stream. Such a nightmare, awful dream But in the present, the on going theme

Great piece Robert... such a mysterious and apocalyptic display of daily happenings... Thomas Hardy says that "happiness is but an occasional episode in the general drama of pain" Your poem captures that. Love... Angel

I did indeed wanted to capture the day as felt. Sometimes the easiest writes are always those felt, immediate and profoud.
