Thunder Rolling Glass Canyons

Liam Ross


The pulse and beat, Rhapsody In Blue

Hopes dreams and ambitions, rising in steel

Struck down in a moment, crushing all hope

Raping a generation, even to Pacific

 

Salty tear drops, overrunning rivers

Stunned shock and sorrow, mute disbelief

Hate touching regardless, homeless to shaker

Assassinating reason, unleashing terror

 

Off riveted mountains, last cries of lost souls

Doomed to forever, haunt streets Manhattan

Cut in a moment, hearts wailing hands reaching

Thunder down glass canyons, shattering lives

 

Summers song hadn’t ended, lives shaken like leaves

That fell out of season, from when until memory

Day burnt in infamy, made the more crimson

For innocence lost, loved ones and children

 

After monument’s built, disillusioned armies brought home

And canyons draw silent, melancholy pipers have gone

How could this be human, this evil within

Man most brilliant, and cruelest of creatures
