A Moment Of Silence Poem by Anabahati Mlay

Beautiful souls
With dreams and hopes
Pride of their folks
Excited to learn
Off they went

With no clue off they took
What a beautiful group
But death ooh death
What an evil crook

He came with darkness
And a dark cloud of sadness
With his strike of coldness
He left them lying there lifeless

As a nation we stand
In our grief and numbness
Parents and friends
Mourning in silence

With hopes we hold hands
Tears in our eyes
May they be in a better place
A moment of silence
