No One Knew
By Simonic
Across the skies they soared Spotless record ten years counting Nothing new No one knew A moment stretched Beyond a moment A realization stretched Beyond realizations A working day A waking moment Hearts skipped a beat Yawning faces horrified The moment passed Fires burned Rescues on the way Life to return A second moment No one knew No one believed Ignorance mended Moment extended Fires raged Lives shattered Mouths agape Rescue sent All to be well Life to return To normal Moment gasping Structure failing Fires roared Dust sucked in Falling through Floor through floor A seeker of death A taker of life Cries of the loved Fires screamed Prayers to gods Roofs fell Tears fell upon Smoldering grounds Enthralled by sights Things that could not be The moment choked The buildings fell The lives crushed Fires laughed This couldn’t happen Not here Nothing new No one knew Written September 14th, 2001 © on Sep 14 2001 12:30 AM PST 0 • 9
