It's a horrendous feeling of helplessness
Pins and needles connecting with butterflies
Knots and rocks create a heavy weight
Watching plea across a face
Knowing I can't do anything about it
Her fate determined by wreckage around
Rubble, mess, and hands keeping her down
A glisten of hope shimmers in her eyes
Even though we all know
There's nothing we can do to keep her from dying
It hurts to think of all things not done
Anger and rage fills my heart with pain
Welling from empathy I hadn't known before
25 years may be too long to feel bad
Bit it kills me knowing all the power none had
The lack of care from all of their "friends"
Proven on the day 23,000 met their ends
Something as simple as power, money, and a name for herself
Could have stopped this tragedy
If we made her life as important as ourselves
So Please don't think me another student just writing for fun
I have been angered by those who stood and did none
What would we want if our lives had been switched
This stupid economy where it's all about us
If we don't help them, who will help us?
