Tribute on 9/11

* ~ A TRIBUTE ON 9/11 ~ *

 On 9/11 - A tribute to the founder of Pakistan, Quaid (Muhammad Ali Jinnah) on his death anniversary (1876-1948) & in the loving memory of those killed in the collapse of the ‘three’ towers of World Trade Center in 2001 as well as for millions of lives taken afterwards during the wars (direct & ‘funded’) upon Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Lebanon, Palestine, Libya and now Syria…

Universal truths supersede languages and cultural relevance…could you be the knight as described in this poem (in your own domain)?

THE TRUE KNIGHT…

It is the mission of each true knight...

His duty... nay, his privilege!

To dream the impossible dream,

To fight the unbeatable foe,

To bear with unbearable sorrow

To run where the brave dare not go;

To right the unrightable wrong.

To love, pure and chaste, from afar,

To try, when your arms are too weary,

To reach the unreachable star!

This is my Quest to follow that star,

No matter how hopeless, no matter how far,

To fight for the right

Without question or pause,

To be willing to march into hell

For a heavenly cause!

And I know, if I'll only be true

To this glorious Quest,

That my heart will lie peaceful and calm

When I'm laid to my rest.

And the world will be better for this,

That one man, scorned and covered with scars,

Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,

To reach the unreachable stars !!
