Taken

Tower 2 is hit One badly misplaced airline jet …In Texas A homemaker calls her husband Her painful voice holds disbelief Honey… Have you seen the misery? Tower 1 was next Chaos as always Backwards This one well placed stolen airline jet …In Texas An old man nears the creek Working with his headphones on He stops his tractor, dead Listening… A stream of tears No more for now ….He prays The harvests suffer much this day Washington… The Pentagon was next Nearly one hundred lives Taken Passengers In this the innocent My sister she’s from Texas One corridor away So much Ones walls can separate Both towers now crumble Lives are crumbling Elsewhere… Deception has a dance Frantic dancing Dance the Frantic Dance (Sung to London Bridges) Sometimes moments finds forever Sometimes forever’s are compressed Concrete and flesh impressed Helpers and the helpless Sometimes souls are entrapped Beneath greats weight Blood-guilts of the right-just hands of hate Amazing how much so little faith left That destruction creates Stirred up humans race …In Texas We take in the chase.
