Sevens
Seven years after the towers fell
it was revealed:
Seven hundred thousand thousand thousand
will be paid
Seventy years we may have to wait
for justice to reward
those who were chased
out of their hearts
out of their souls
out of the colour of their skin
and for the guilty to be sought
Seven years after the towers fell
compensation will be paid,
which neither you nor I can quantify
How many eyes can that money buy?
Does an eye equal an eye?
I am afraid!
Seven days after the payment’s made
the earth will disintegrate
for these are sins far too great
for our fragile world
to withstand
