Tragic
by Victor Alvia

Crash. Boom. Silence.
Panic. Shock. Real.
Unexpected. Sirens.
Firefighter. Hero.
Brave. Media. Tears.
Tower 1. Demolished.
Bomb. Collapse. Weird.
Tower 2. Lost.

What is happening on this very day?
Who could do such things?
Who can put my pain away?
And mask all my dreams?
Terrified. Dead. Alliance.
Unable to Comprehend,
Terrorism. War. Defiance.
9/11.
A Moment of Silence.
