A Day of Rememberance
Sirens fill the streets outside the skyscraper
People run from block to block
Ash is filling their lungs with the warm gray air
Many of them are searching to find out what to do
Yellow suited men are seen running in the flaming building behind the cloud of smoke guarding the entrance
Police tell people to get away
Many of them do
Some stay waiting to see if someone they know have survived
A loud crunch of thunder shatters the chaos
The building deteriorates down to the ground
Pieces of arms and legs are flying to the ground
People are running frantically for their lives now
The black smoke chases after them and they are lost
Silence falls upon the city
Rescuers come searching the next day when the smoke has cleared
People are hiding in building still
Some had come out to look at the destruction
Come out, come out little one
Come out of the shadows
Let me see your face
The little one came out from the shadows
Her face was dark and dreary
Covered with scratches
Covered with dirt
Half her oily hairline was singed and fried
As if someone had out a torch to her head
That was when I realized she was all alone
