Analysis of The 2nd Pearl Harbor



One September Morning
Was full of cries
Like "help" and "go" and
"I don't won't die"

For it was a tragic morning
When 4 suicidal missions took place
Debree was the world's blanket
Blood was more than a trace

Families were worried
USA was shocked
Everything stopped
Except the clock

One September morning
The world was saddened
And I still wonder
What is next to happen.
