Tragedy At Home
there is sadness in the air,
as the world stands still and quiet.
tears spill to the earth,
you hear hearts breaking in the wind.
and all of mankind stands in silence,
disgust, and dismay.
what a tragic and utterly horrific event to bring mankind together.
thousands now sleep with the stars.
but a thousand words can not exspress our pain.
standing as a nation, as one, we cry.
never fully understanding the atrocity that has forever changed out lives.
how can so much sadness be given in one day?
i fear we will never understand.
its as if we were all lost inside a nightmare or a tragic dream.
but from this we can not wake, now we can
only try, to live on.
