Thread: The Day Of The Towers

  1. #1

    The Day Of The Towers

    When The Towers Of Freedom Fall,
    When The Fires Of Hell Burn,
    When The Smoking Furls Of Death Enthralls,
    A Frightened People Turn,
    To Their Leader, To Their Country,
    To Their Morals, To Their Lord,
    To Find A Kind Of Answer,
    To Hear A Healing Word...

    When The Fires Have Been Extinquished
    When The Choking Smoke Clears,
    When The Rubble Has Been Swept Away,
    When Love Has Dried The Tears,
    A Proud Nation Shall Become,
    A Nation Standing Tall,
    Taller Than The Fallen Towers,
    With Justice And Liberty For All! N. Lee Austin

    Hi NLA, welcome to the forums. I hope you like it here. Frequently people post when they want comments on their poetry. I read your poem, and it has no feeling. I feel like I'm reading from an automaton. What you write about is a VERY emotional event. It ends with a cliche, and sort of just lack luster nationalism. It shows promise, but I think you can put so much more into this if you really want. Please don't be discouraged. I look forward to more.
