MATHEMATICS OF 9/11

 

From nine to eleven

There is a length of ten

Between nine and eleven

There is a ten as a hindrance

 

Nine and eleven; the odds

Squeezed ten; the even..

Ten had only one “one”

The zero it claimed..

Changed its value..

According to its place….

Zero can never be trusted..

 

Ten soldiers marched ahead

Towards the world trade centre..

In search of the eleventh soldier..

 

They saw the eleventh soldier..

There were ten soldiers behind him..

From a caste not known to them

“Ten soldiers behind me, made me the eleventh

I can never leave them in my life”

 

On that day began the argument..

For the eleventh position..

After ten..

 

Between the arguments

The tenth soldier on both sides

Eloped for a peaceful living….

Into a world sans bombs and tanks

 

In the war that ensued..

The world trade centre

Was destroyed….

In the absence of ten

The war was named

9/11world trade centre mishap.

 

Read only if you have patience

There is no other way to express my anger..

Against a world abound in war….

Very interesting way to express your feelings about and war vs peace. I however will not condemn how you express it, whether or not I agree with it, since it is art. Also, contrary to what some idealists believe, not everything one writes is about themselves.

expressing your resentment is not the way to peace, for you or anyone else...besides, you're only singing to the chorus
