Fires are blazing
as the powers that be proclaim
a thirst for justice-
"we will not fall victim to terrorists".
They cry and are angered
as they struggle to come to terms
with tragedy.
Yet they have already lost the battle.
Now
as they sit in their meetings
and prepare for war
believing they can win,
I see a vision of the future:
Fires are blazing
Innocence is dying
Our society collapses into itself
and tehre will be no one left
to whisper the words
"I told you so".
