This Time of Sadness by Lauren Boumaroun (Oct. ’01)
In this time of sadness, as a country we should unite.
What took away our smiles, will make our country fight.
If only we could solve this in another way,
But that's not the way it happens, not in the present day.
These days it seems as though war will settle all,
But that isn't how it goes, we must stand proud and tall.
We need to reason with whomever did this deed.
Because that was something that we did not need.
That Tuesday morning, it was a big surprise.
Something so tragic makes tears well in our eyes.
Every time I think of it, I really want to cry.
What did we ever do to make all those people die?
Soon we will find the answers to the questions that we ask,
But right now saving lives is the most important task.
All we need to do is pray to God above
And ask Him to look down on us and send us all His love.
For in the end I know that He will make things right.
The Lord will help us out we may not have to fight.
