Notes	This short poem describes the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre in New York, and its influence on world politics thereafter. Iraq and Afghanistan suffering under an onslaught of bombing and killing as part of the American War on Terror. The end of the poem appears to question the morality of the American war, with those who suffered terror now appearing as terrorists themselves.
