on the horizon of a fairytale

0 posted 2001-09-13 10:27 AM



Teetering on the edge of beyond what seems real
Fright takes hold of a nation
The illusion of safety and the disillusion of reality
Fade in a blend of muted plumes of smoke

Souls finding Heaven, while others burn in hell
Lives left behind forever saddened with loss
Questions among many, friends and strangers alike
How could this happen, how do they dare

But one question lingers, burns in my heart

“all in the name of God”
Who is this Allah, anyway?

Whisper, the same God who let his Son die on the cross to take all of our sins.  But, remember that Satin can make himself "look" like God so many will follow him.  I sometimes think his following is greater than the true God's.  Thanks for the thoughts,  ME

The two main stanzas are wonderfully executed! Powerfully woven!!
