A Nation Had Never Been So Still

A nation had never been so still With the two colors that painted that day, The red and black it was too much to cry The shock Sunday was unexpected, Might have changed the ambitions of the nation. A nation had never been so still That death could come that way was acceptable But that death could come that way was unaccepted. That death of an Amazon could strike a nation so hard And followed by the sudden fall of an Eagle Brought the nation peace and unity. A nation had never been so still As the citizens tired hard to endure the pain My question was would this event be forgotten? My answer was yes it would. It was a teaching but it has taught nobody. Then nobody knew that another eagle would fall soon.
