In the distance
far far away a baby cried.
The day was cool and blue
Peacefully skies promised
A room full of forevers.
The babel towers
Of the trade centers
Stood in pristine majesty.
In the skyline of new York.
A circle of seagulls
Soared on a thermal
High above the Hudson River.
Then the planes came
From beyond where seagulls can fly
within their cockpits
Hate stuffed itself inside.
The noise of the engines
Became a cacophony.
Humans looked up
to see the towers crumble.
Man's creations fell in moments.
Death and destruction
Crashed to the ground
In burning grey ashes.
Then silence.
Only silence .
in the distance
Far far away a baby cried.
Lest we forget them
