Transatlantic Pathos
I remember that afternoon – disbelief
Stunned silence from those silent witness
To tragedy – pain - - stress such distress
Perpetrated by monsters – no relief
Too painful to contemplate the cost
Watch in horror those there wandering
Wondering of loved ones – pondering
Shaking heads empty eyes wholly lost
Commentators pause in sadness trying
To relay information – sketchy at best
Tears held in check -- throats cleared
Poignant pregnant pause – reverence
Someone has to help process bathos
Hiroshima memory eclipsed -- pathos
