Tribute To Today
Today
Thoughts turn towards the twin towers
Those thoughts,
transfixed through time
Though they, the towers, trembled…
then toppled.
This time,
though tainted through tragedy,
This time,
those to themselves,
tergiversated…
turned terrene,
then,
transcended themselves towards this “togetherness”.
This “time”
that ten thousand troops took to the test.
Their testament: “To travel through tough terrain. To thwart the terror. To tackle the tyrant.”
Though that took time,
they triumphed.
Today,
that triumph telegraphs the truth to thousands!
That’s the tried, true tradition that terrorism tried to take.
Triumph today,
Tell the terrible truth, that the Taliban, through their teachings,
tries to terrorize.
Today,
take the time to think.
Turn those tears to that togetherness, that truth.
Today,
Think towards tomorrow’s tranquility.
Take today to triumph.
