ODE TO 911 - IN MEMORIAM


In Memoriam

The face of terror raised its head,
Our sons and daughters now are dead!
And who will weep for them?
We will weep for them!

Demonic fiends broke through our door,
And mamas and papas are no more.
And who will sing lullaby’s for them?
We will sing for them!

Fiends! They came in demented rage,
Sent grandmas and grandpas to the grave!
And who will pray for them?
We will pray for them!

What deathly force those cowards ushered!
Taking with them our sisters and brothers!
And who will speak for them?
We will speak for them!

Without warning came they like wolves!
Wreaking havoc on our friends!
And who will judge for them?
We will judge for them!

As for the dead, what pain they felt?
As twisted steel, bricks, mortar melt!
And who will bury them?
We will bury them.

They came! They demolished our beautiful city!
Despoiled our buildings without pity!
And who will rebuild for them?
We will rebuild for them!

Defenseless all they lived, they died.
They got no pity when they cried!
And who shall avenge them?
We will avenge them!

And that date, eleventh September,
We will always, always, remember!
And who will remember them?
We will remember them!

And who will repay the cowards?
We will repay them, a thousand fold.
And we, the living,
We will weep for them.
We will sing for them.
We will pray for them.
We will speak for them.
We will judge for them.
We will bury them.
We will rebuild for them.
We will avenge them.
We will remember them,
Ad infinitum, in memoriam!
