Numbed by the enormous pain
Of her children crashing down in flames.
Yet, she will remain strong
With the thought of revenge racing through her mind.
The sadness pierces the hearts of many
With rage blazing in their souls,
Knowing their hearts will never come home.
Helplessness spreads throughout the land;
Watching their brothers and sisters suffer.
The darkness has fallen over the tragic day,
Hiding the tears of a mother.
Her cries will echo throughout the streets,
Waiting for her son to walk through the door.
