Twin towers
(Dedicated to the victims of extremism and exploitation the world over,
and especially the victims of the terrorist attacks on the United
States and their families, and the women of Afghanistan
http://songs.rawa.org/rawa/index.html)
The twins are dead
And thousands with them
Hatred's harvest in this sad fall -
Season of mist and yellow fruitlessness
The fallen seeds
Are sprouting now
Look at the crops from this crude act:
Revenge and fear and callow ruthlessness
Capitalism
Lets many die
From hunger, disease and rude neglect
Retaliation's just hollow uselessness
Islam's accused
But it's not guilty -
Just the madness of a few cruel men?
Let's look at ourselves and hallow truthfulness:
The sin is in us all,
The twins of bigotry and indifference.
