The aftermath
With a flag inside and outside
Flying at half mass
From all the damage incurred
And the attacks that ensued
From the disrespectful and rude
The unloving and crude
The unwilling and unglued
The evil and ill willed
The vile and toxic
Cant stand but sit still
The rough winds that
Blow over trees like the tropics
The bombings
With no fallout shelter
The helter-skelter
And down in the dirt and trenches
Seeming finished
All alone
Wondering after being hit
The whole time
Why and right at home
And seeming prone
To such vicious attack
And wandering where one is at
After all the smoke clears
And what exactly will be left
After this leaves here
With some fear
As this appears
To be something
That never should have taken place
In any case
But in the end and presence thereof
With much catastrophe to speak of
Was the battle really worth it
Well from the looks of it
After all of this
And what consists
During what persist
And moving down
A hit list
And suffering from the aftereffects
Of this very unpleasant event
After so much time and effort spent
And trying to salvage somehow
What's left after this
But now that one has survived
It's time to rebuilt
And go away inside
For here in the midst
Of all the rubble
And the passed over trouble
One must get back on their feet
And on the double
As to move forward
And pushing toward
Restructuring
And to what this can bring
But be careful
Not to repeat what
All happened here again
Take it as a lesson
And leave it for
Back there and then
As it's time for recovery
And rescuing
To be on the way
Starting with night
And then the day
Yet mobilizing in such a way
As to avoid such calamity
Ever again
Heal and wash this off
Like the cure mixed with a bath
As you move to the present
From the past
For what will one do
And become
During the aftermath
