A rough draft, amazingly cathartic:
All's Fair In Love And War
Early morning phone call Johnny says "My Love The Towers are burning I'm trapped just above. The Towers are burning. I love you, you must know." Then a scream; then a silence. No, my love, no.
Johnny, Oh dear Johnny Can you know the grief I feel? For your body, for a token I tear through glass and steel. For your body, burned and broken Will ease the doubt I know Ah, if only I could die too! No, my love, no.
Johnny, Oh dear Johnny In anger and despair I will play the game by their rules Chador disguise I wear I will play the game by their rules Wreaking havoc and distress Is it vengeance? Is it justice? Yes, my love, yes.
