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
