Flags At Half Mast

Senseless destruction, Fear in our hearts Mindless confusion A misplaced spark. A toturous day Under clouds of grey Lives lost Hearts now cold A sense of urgency Fears being told. Questions arise For which there is no answer Lives torn apart More in the hearafter. More tears flow The trail grows cold Our minds numb Our countries bold. Flags at half mast Stories to pass From the young To the old. Courage emerges Hope reappears Heartbeats flutter Even throught the tears. An attack on a nation A disgrace of humanity Yet the people gather Ready to face the humility. The sums of our fears Gives us the courage to regain A glorious nation Full of beauty under pain. We shall become whole again We shall not divide Strength is in numbers Days of terror left behind.
