The Fly
11/10/2001
Wipe the fog away
to see the rain more clearly
Where the world is not red and black
it is redrawn in shades of grey.
It can't be said they haven't won -
Every death, every hurt
Every loss, every tear
Water wept in sorrow rage and fear
All distracted minds and staring eyes
Every laugh replaced by silence
Every night we stay awake to drive the dreams away
Each respectful cancellation
Each re-written script
Every stern impassioned speech
All the flags and flowers -
Each one is a little victory. For them.
They believe
they are the hands of god...
Our humanity lets them win in this way.
We're no angels
but they're no devils
The bitterest blow is, humans did it all.
"So the hands that build - can also pull down..."
(I hadn't realised a whole month had passed...)
