Rhyme Scheme: ABCCCDEFGCCCHIJCCCKL CCMNOCPQRSRTTUIV

Of badly behaved humans and pallid dustA
Split screen shows tall buildings in New YorkB
Make good targets for aeroplanesC
And the Pentagon burns like any other placeC
Screen cuts to FBI files witnesses the flimsyC
Evidence a flight manual in ArabicD
And the President informed seems stunnedE
Though eerily unsurprised The two gleamingF
Towers collapse again in slow motionG
The first time an event of such magnitude hasC
Been broadcast using entirely digital technologyC
A savvy CNN anchor commentsC
Afghanistan's back on the US radarH
Special effects have improved since the Gulf WarI
Events can be more easily edited and enhancedJ
eg an instant retrospective beautifullyC
Counterpoints Osama's calculated obsessivenessC
With a New York fireman's utter decencyC
Terror moves fleshing out its agendaK
A talking head asked 'How do we process our anger 'L
Now's not the time to ask who armed and trained the zealotsC
And why there always has to be an enemyC
Who helped destroy AfghanistanM
Why in some places peace can only mean sleep or deathN
When do land mines come home to roostO
To whom do we address our regretsC
Or remember Hiroshima set the standardP
For breaking glass and Nagasaki was signedQ
Off to test another kind of atom bombR
Well one nuke would have been enoughS
How terror burned for years in VietnamR
To satisfy unquenchable domestic thirst for fire EvilT
Pure and simple rained on the Vietnamese peopleT
The Vietnamese might forgive yet cannot forgetU
Quite as easily as we can They say no more warI
Plant forests where the napalm burnedV
