North and South down

A fiery crash upon the screen Scenes of disarray The confusion of the shocking sight And faces of dismay All around the world stood still And slowly held its breath Praying for the rescue mission To minimise the death The black cloud appeared silently Consuming all the sky And filled the hearts and minds of those Reverberating nearby The horror and the desperation For those waiting to descend The time elapsing swiftly Towards the bitter end The tragic sight of North implode A fate so unexpected The desolation felt by all When South disconnected Cries of disbelief ring out The screams can only drown As the damning news reports North and South are down
