NOTE: Guys, i think there has been a misunderstanding regarding this poem. It is not about 9/11, twin towers or New York City. Read it and then you'll know what its really about. <br /> <br />Brick and Cement Sandwiched <br />Piled Up Into Multi-Storey Buildings <br />In this Concrete Jungle Of The Modern Man <br />‘Blinded By Materialism’ Has The Truest Meaning. <br /> <br />Obstructed Stars And Obstructed Views <br />Neglected Stand Essentials And Problems Accrue. <br />The 1st Storey Just Collapsed Under The Pressure <br />Their Building is Maimed; They’re Groping For Answers. <br /> <br />What A Shame To Their Own Name <br />Shaken Is Their World In This Building Block Game <br />Deserting ‘The Real Endeavor’ They Eclipsed Their Destiny <br />Caught Off Guard In Their Own Lair - Life Can Be Funny. <br /> <br />Clean Up The Rubble And Build Buildings With Stronger Base <br />Save Yourself The Trouble Of Re-Building Again and Again. <br />Open Up Your Mind To Look Beyond Material Things <br />Let The Rising Sun Welcome Your Mornings. <br /> <br />See The Skies And The Open Views Today <br />Lest You Should Resent Later The Materialistic Life Spent. <br />Love, Family and Simple Pleasures Will Make You Content <br />Before Your Building Topples, Make That Change. <br /> <br />NOTE: So you see, its not about NYC, Twin towers, but about how you should build love, friendship rather than material things! <br /> <br />(Conceptualized & Written on 1 September 2006) <br />(Revised on 5th September 2006) <br /> <br />PS - Thanks To Chandan, a dear friend for the title suggestion :)<br /><br />.Pd. is here<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/concrete-ascending-towers-descending-rubbles/
