Under the helmet of a perfect and boundless sky,
She watched as a rocket hurled into the heart of her Northern sister.

Racked with pain as the heat soared from her heart,
She watched a rocket tear into the belly of her Southern sister.

Aching and agonizing, the twins leaned into each other,
Bidding each other a final farewell.

Her heart wrenching, she watched as her Southern sister fell to the ground,
Watching and waiting until the pain was too great
And then she too, crumbled to the ground.

And just like that...

Thousands of dreams,
Thousands of hopes,
Went up in smoke.

Thousands of mothers and fathers,
Thousands of brothers and sisters,
Thousands of friends and lovers,
All were buried in the rubble.

And the world wept,
For the death of the twins was too great to bear.

And in the aftermath,
The anger begins to brew.
