Heathrow - Terminal Five

Tradition

Religion

Our flight plan repetition
Dead people’s luggage clogs the runways of the mind.

Terrorism

Fundamentalism

Synonymous with the blind, the needless
Handles snap and you bind them?

Grounded forever in the baggage of your kind,
Tied up in tales of better times

Tradition

Religion

Recognition

	Think again.
