Analysis of Sorrow
The sound of planes coming in,
The unexpected terror within.
Then the crunching, crashing sounds all around, and people screaming in agony now.
How can someone hate this much,
to kill someone with an innocent touch?
To harm so many unknowing people, to take their lives, they must be evil.
Now people in foreing countries party,
while we are searching, moarning, and hardley believing that thousands are gone.
They cannot know the agony we feel,
for they, they have not lost and they cannot feel.
Our minds are numb but we must heal, to stop the way other people feel.
Soon, we pray, we shall know who can hate us so, so much to take the lives away and make our hearts cry on for days.
