The Unquenchable Fire

The towers fell, & the world changed 

And so began the great exchange 

Of hate 

Of lies 

Of family ties

Severed at the soul of man

For what? Allah's master plan?

There was no god on that bleak day

Only man's abuse of a belief astray 

The dust still gathers; our lungs still choked

As we try to escape from the fire stoked

Thank you Trevor, and Uilleam, perhaps your right but it certainly changed the dynamic in people's minds, regarding the middle east etc & terrorism. It created a lot of hate & fear that sill reverberates. Thanks, & for the additional likes 🌷

....or did it, Stephen....change, I mean?
Equal horrors have long been, and curently are being perpetrated around the world....some in the name of those who consider themselves to be the world's policemen/bouncers/thugs.
