Prayer for September 11

When the horns of demon pierce through the human hearts,
And the pious blood oozes out crying,
And when the cruel claws of the crooked,
Grip tightly the neck of the innocence and strangulate,
Let us be strong to preserve our values and faith.

When the ruthless pursuit of the bloodthirsty knock out souls,
And pose a threat to the very existence of our species,
And when lengthening shadows of death loom large,
That engulf all into the gloom of the dark,
Let there be light of courage for us to march on.

When the beasts within us strike hard at our foundation,
And initiate demolition of towering heights,
And when terror explode within our vicinities,
That shatter the walls, sills and window panes,
Let construction begin and rest not till it reaches eternities.

When the tempest rise with soaring waves that rock the ship,
And bow and stern play the seesaw and anchors lose ground,
And when the storms pierce through the mast,
That leave the souls shattered and battered,
Let the rowing arms marvel to cast the ship ashore.

Let those who lost their precious lives live within our hearts,
And watch the victory of the good over the evil,
Let the fire of hatred be quenched by wisdom of peace,
And let there be freedom of life without fear overcast,
And there be celebrations of the magnificence of our lives.
