The Ghosts of 911

On 911,
The twin towers
Said, we cry out loud
For this blood,
We shed
Tears become flames
These deadly games
Haunted by, 
The ghosts of men
Before, we truly die

Did you ever see the Bridge On The River Kwai? where the man at the end is standing on the beach saying, "Madness, madness" because they just blew up a bridge that they built ... this write of yours and 9-11 reminds me of that movie. Thanks for bringing your talents to the Soup !!
