OBLIVIOUS

By: Tina Bari

Everything seemed normal, everything at its best,
oblivious to the evil approaching the west.

The horror we never imagined, the thing we most dread,
Leaves hundreds missing, thousands dead.

The whole world stood still all we could do was look,
unimaginable how many lives this evil took.

It spread like a blanket covering the world in fear,
Now were all shocked, the futures so unclear.

While thoughts and fears fill our mind,
we ask who could commit an act so unkind.

As a nation burns from one evil flame,
people start to question who's to blame.

With so many lost and so many dead,
we wonder what could possibly lie ahead.

So many people on this tragic day died,
we'll never forget the day the world cried.

We all stand together, rich and poor,
Knowing that this evil was an act of war.

And so we send the bombs and pray for peace,
whilst the children in Afghanistan pray for it to cease.

We grieved we mourned of this act so unkind,
but an eye for an eye makes the world blind.
