THE TWIN DESTROYERS

Evil arrived sheathed in a metallic skin,

a winged hypodermic needle

injecting terror and death

into the American psyche.

The twin towers pointed skyward,

a monument to free minds

and unfettered intellect,

where dreams and reality meld and mutate.

Mohamed’s tribes sprang from their caves

like rabid bats, fueled by random emotions,

blinded by a thousand years of darkness,

Where the Towers challenged the heavens,

the tribes wallowed in the muck of superstition,

force their only path,

myths their only blessed verities.

Evil hates the achievers,

for the world of evil is constructed

on pain and suffering,

where mindless sacrifice is the highest value.

to heights these tribes cannot scale,

and let the tortured alloys of our hearts

provide the impenetrable materials.

so be wary of the twin destroyers of humanity:
