Once Upon A Time
Has Been Stolen
This morning we awoke to find a new world,
Having gone to bed and slipped into our dreams,
But dawn would see not just another sunrise,
It greeted us with smoke and anguished screams.
Awakened from the innocence of dreaming,
Where meadows filled with flowers gaily danced,
We stepped into the nightmare of this new world,
Where buildings, hearts and mankind had been lanced.
No more can we cast blind eyes over landscapes,
Where dignity is crushed by those who hate;
Tis now that as a species we must unify,
And cleanse this world before it is too late.
Our children now must see that we have fortitude,
In them we must rekindle peace’s flame,
Their Once Upon a Time was stolen by this horror,
And the world they know will never be the same.
Reach out across the vast and windswept distance,
Take hold of hands that you have never known,
Hold tight those friends who now must feel so terrified,
And let them know that they don’t stand alone.
:dedicated to those touched by the tragedy of September 11th, 2001
