A day in breaking buildings
towers with dread indifference
and cowers hearts
A cityscape is blindly torn apart
in anguished moments bled
of logic’s rationality
Where distressed debris lies
the anguished screams are heard
expressed in unsaid words
Empty eyes surveying such
enormity are cruelly paled
and dumbly fall aside
There is no peace denied, no
hope of sanctuary, it is the
day this garden city died
