One Ordinary Morning
The dawn breaks
Blue and gray pigeons
Coo in the early morning
The sky
As blue as the ocean
Pillowlike clouds scattered
Throughout the clear sky
A light September breeze
Burnt orange leaves falling throughout the streets
The smell of fresh pine in the air
Crowds of people
Huddled together
Off to work
In two skyscrapers
Reaching high up
Trying to reach the clouds
The work center of the world
Ordinary
Off to work
Just like every morning
A moment later
A bright light
A plane crash
Into the north skyscraper
Fiery gasses
Shouting everywhere
Bypassers in shock
The once-tall tower
Bent over
A moment later
The second plane into the south building
A big blow
The once tall towers
Tall no more
Cries for help
Screams
Shouts from every corner
Masses of workers watching
Sobbing
People from the once-tall towers
Rushing out
Hoping to escape
Their unknown fate
Many terrified
People
All over the world
Hovering over their small screens
Grieving
Watching
Terrified at the pictures
Their eyes huge
Bodies shaking
As the news details the horrific sights
Hoping and praying
People can escape
Unsure of all of the events
The future
Changed
The ordinary morning
Same as every day
Innocent lives
Without a tomorrow
Never would they have guessed
That this particular morning would be
Their worst morning
And their last
