WHERE ART THEE

Precious living spring

Of life's peace and harmony

We thirst and hunger

for thine presence

oh unity and solidity

We need thee to destroy the looming terror which stealthily

And slithered slowly

In the dark corridors and crevices

Of our present world

Creating havoc abd hysteria

Disharmony and conflicts

Fears and confusions that sends governments and the powerful

In a helpless gestures of whirring

Whirling ang whinning in crazy circles in such a speed

Rendering them still confused

trying to find thee, divine unity

To prevent and stop

this rampage of evil deeds

Shaking the core of humanity

Where are you humanity?

Where art thee?

You who will unify t

The weak and strong

The good and the evil

The powerful and the fools

The ignorant and learned

The ugly and beautiful

Where art thee?

You who will give

Strength and solidarity

You will give life harmony

And oneness

You who will make everyone

Cooperateand unite

To fight the evil

that create hostilities

You the integral part of

peace that we crave

Wherever you are

I'd like to imagine you

Coming to us mortals

Rummaging the vestiary

Of conflicts and insanity

And garb it in the purist

Vestal garments

Of unity and peace

And offer yourself

in the highest altar

Where the sacred fire

Will forever burn with flame

That no one ca destroy.

Oh, where art thou

Precious divine unity?

Where art thee?

2

And the iron bird

Became a bullet

Spewing fire

The tower of Babel

Once again destroyed

With vengeance

And people arround

the world spoke

Only about horror, dread

pain and unspeakable

Grief and sadness

The angst became

The language

Of every nation on earth

September eleven

We will not forget!
