Array ( [sid] => 7372 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Trouble in the west [time] => 2002-11-24 12:00:00 [hometext] => This is a sequel to Trouble in The East which was written the day after the twin towers attack. [bodytext] => Which came first, the words or the pen,
its hard to remember way back then,
which came first, the tree or the paper,
was it the volcano or was it the crater,
foresight would be a wonderful gift to have had,
no killing. no terror, Beirut or Baghdad,
this may seem an extremist view,
but what are we in the west supposed to do,
trust in our leaders to deliver us from evil ?,
but the downing of the towers has brought worldwide upheaval,
the terrorist seems to have it all on his side,
there is no law to which they will abide,
they walk into our cities, easy at will,
and bring with them bombs, to maim and to kill,
as these extremists remain free to roam,
we are distracted from poblems closer to home,
drug users and conmen looking for their next fix,
whilst you and me fall prey to their tricks,
too dangerous a world to bring kids up in,
pass me the hand grenade and I"ll pull out the pin.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
