The Towers

The Towers Frank Halliwell When disbelief has run its course At evil done without regard For innocents who died in vain When safeguards left the skies unbarred. With hindsight comes great clarity! They should have known that they exist. Regretfully they did not find The nest of vipers in their midst. The world has witnessed infamy A deed that caught them unawares -The terror in the window space, The final horror on the stairs. How can we start to understand The hate that fills their twisted minds -That lets them kill without remorse An enemy their hate defines. The awful waste of human life And all the tears of kin and friends Not knowing if or when to grieve Or when the awful doubt might end. But this will all be overcome All in due course, there's little doubt And justice may in time restore A people who are all cried-out. ***
