9/11

by Raleigh D. Meadow - Libra

as democracy strolled barefoot 
through the lush, sweet grass of freedom
it's beauteous feet turned to poison
coursing through envious veins

yes
the monkey has been foolish
plucking a whisker
from the sleeping lion's snout
now
the lion shall gorge on monkey flesh

( My thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims )
