Life gone in
an instant
With blasts
of hate from air
Caught within
a moment
This deed
done brings despair
Contemplate
this evil
What good
has this deed done
Left us filled
with hatred
This battle
never won
Torn with mass
destruction
Deliberate
hate designed
For only in
one instant
Deep sorrow
for mankind
Families filled
with horror
Hearts are
filled with tears
Within us
saddest moment
What purpose
brings us here
Let us join
united
To say a silent
prayer
For those
who were the victims
Their voices
we must hear
People joining
hands now
Creating biggest
chain
Bringing forth
a miracle
Where evil
brought such pain
Innocent are
dead now
What power
does this give
Lost within
the horror
But yet we
all must live
Fear cannot
bring power
For deep inside
hate looms
The power
of the people
In silent
prayer resumes
Hands that
reached so bravely
To help those
find a way
With hearts
of grateful nation
We bow our
heads and pray
For all those
who are lost now
On this most
dreaded day
We pray that
God will give us
The strength
to find a way.
