Dedicated to the families and survivers of 9/11
The Igloo defies the Winter Storms
Built by man to keep him warm
and safe from beasts of prey
To keep his kin and kind
wife, children, parents
Together as family
So, mankind survives because of buildings
His earliest and greatest invention
It can be said that families grow and thrive
and become communities
They left the caves
at least some of them
And became civilizations
All which come and go
As do religions and all thing made of man
Arrive to the fate of the Igloo
When the seasons turn to summer
When the roof of ice starts to melt
It is time to move on
It is never crashes down on man
And the builder never destroys it
Neither does his neighbor
Near or far away on his camel
his brother
who rides in the heat of the desert
Praying, perhaps to another God
Why would he in the name of the almighty
Come to the place of Igloos
On the banks of rivers
To smash them while
multitudes of peaceful families
work and dwell unaware of danger
What is in the mind of this jackal?
that would grind them into plasma
and bits so small carried by blasts as dust
evil as the winds that brought them
centuries behind they chose
to remain in the caves of ignorance
using their fires to forge the weapons of hate
to use their bile to smash the gleaming Igloos
of glass and steel
Who suckled these beasts?
Why was not their seed carried off in streams of urine
Or, placed in the ass of the camel and donkey
And pity for them and not the beasts
So vile they are hated by their own creator
Acts so cowardly never to be forgotten or forgiven
Their only reward
True death…
