Recurring Nightmare...Revisited
Visions keep flashing
Before my eyes.
My mind keeps rehashing,
Clear blue skies.
Planes keep crashing,
Into building sides.
Voices keep asking,
For reasons why.
Media speculation,
Terrorist ties.
Instant devastation,
Lives paralyzed.
Military hesitation?
Rumors denied.
Immediate Retaliation.
Maneuvers formalized.
People falling,
Victimized,
Cries of forsaking,
Terrified.
Glass keeps breaking,
Horrified.
Jihad keeps taking,
Glorified.
Body's keep falling,
Just like flies,
Buildings keep crumbling,
Compromised.
Children keep asking,
Who survived?
God's second remaking,
You decide?
Apparitions walking,
Hypnotised.
Staring, not talking,
Mesmerized.
Ghostly illusions,
Vaporized.
Prideful contusions,
Cauterized.
Time keeps changing,
With anguished tides.
Years contemplating.
Revenge or Suicide.
Mental whip lashings,
Deep down inside.
Faces keep passing,
Hauntingly by.
Politicians keep masking,
Truth and lies.
War keeps lasting,
Youth genocide?
People keep asking,
Proof still denied.
Terrorists keep basking,
In rueful pride.
Sooner or later,
They'll open their eyes.
See who's been awake.
And who hypnotized.
They'll see what's at stake,
Then realize,
It's been a bad dream,
One we'd like to deny.
Eight years of bad memories, burning inside.
A recurring nightmare in a blurry disguise.
