As the anniversary comes round again shortly, I'll offer up my own thoughts on the pain and loss of people not only in the twin towers but other innocent victims of conflicts around the world.......

Nine Eleven Tribute

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 cruel
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 today and tonight
Tell their congregations that the might of man is strongest when
We all link hands together and make a bond to stay as friends

The memories of those that died in every war and outrageous 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 all the innocents whose deaths we didn't know
