The days the world stood still...

The days the world stood still...

There have been many days that have made the world stand still
never many happy, mostly heartbreaking and heart wrenching
It makes our heart skip a beat
Sometimes makes us cry
Because we realize we are not gods
But near oddities
Here for a short while

The first I remember was a bomb in a shopping mall
In which two children died
And wondering the streets to day
As if its gone away
But every time I pass that mall
I take a look, just to make sure
I never feel safe there anymore

The second I remember was yet another bomb
But this time in the trunk of a car
Killing only one
I walk down that street no more, talking the long way
That was 10 years ago today

The third event was Diana, our prince fur
That died in a car crash in Paris
With her boyfriend there
I remember the wreck...
The images buried in my mind
And then the news 'shes dead'
A thousand tears a nation wept, truly I did morn
For the Prince I never meet
A national treasure gone

The fourth event you all will know
I do not need say more
Except it is the worst of all
That still makes me tremble and fall

And so ends my deadly list, of things that make me cry
This world is a bitter place
Which make me wonder why we try.....

In memory to all who passed away in these events, and all thoughts who still suffer because of them

that was a good poem.

I think i am too young to remember the first two events (i was 8 when the car bomb happened - i wouldn't of watched the news then.)

I remember the last two events well - Diana's death expecially because it happened when i went to blackpool for my birthday that weekend...They canceled the lights that night in Mrmory of her - that is the only time i know of the lights being canceled - but i sure 9/11 made them do the same.
