Crash

Bang crash
hear that boom
wow, what could it be
It wasn't you, nor me

deafening screams
all around
no silence can be heard
no, know where to be found

people, chaos everywhere
blood and screaming
in the cold night air
my heart is racing

i look about
tears come to me
so many people in agony
im afraid, oh yes indeed

whats it like
is speed fun now
look around, take a look
the blood, the screams

i see your tears
they well up inside
sorry you say
so scared you are

six months on 
inside you're cell
one life broken 
to you its hell

Dear Lisa, The chaos, blood and screaming can be found everywhere, especially when we watch the news. Indeed, it's very frightening. Welcome to Poetry Soup! I'm so glad you are earning your "apple computer" by contributing here. Well done, dear. Love and blessings, Carolyn
