Tragedy

I can’t describe
The pain and sorrow
That is overpowering me
Thinking at anytime
I might not see tomorrow
Why is this tragedy happening

So many families torn
So many loved ones gone
So many people are injured or dead
Now we look for what had gone wrong

It had started out as a
Normal Tuesday morning
When all of a sudden
Tragedy had been striking

It’s happening all so suddenly
And there’s no place to turn
Everywhere you look there’s
Ash, debris, people and soot

Why?
Who did this?
And why can they deny
That what was happening wasn’t surreal
And what they did was wrong
And many people
Will not be able to deal
With this terrible tragedy

I hope who’s doing this knows
They won’t get away
This has made America stronger
And we won’t let it go on any longer

Tears coming down
From heaven
So many we lost
In this day of terror

I pray for those
Who were hurt or lost
For now they are angels
Watching over us all
