Nine Eleven - Version 2
As I re-read this piece I felt it warranted some tidying up, so here is version 2
Nine Eleven
No words of mine or others can change what went before
We can but stand in silence and remember them once more
Though years roll by without restraint and some images fade
The sights we saw upon that day are indelibly engraved
So hear a plea around the world to end all senseless feuds
Which only serve to damage all and leave a legacy so crude
How many generations will keep the bitter fighting on
Surely we must bond together and show evil we are strong
All true religions tell their flocks that peace and love is right
So please can every one of them stand up again tonight
Tell their congregations that the might of man is strongest when
We all link hands together and make a bond to stay as brother men
The memories of those that died in every war and awful act
Would be so much better honoured if we could just make that pact
And as you whisper prayers today and leave your wreaths on show
Spare a thought for the many innocents we didn't have a chance to know
