The Day the Sky Fell
Dec 6 1941,The world across the Pacific was on fire,
But to America, the situation wasn’t dire.
7:00 AM, The radar sees planes drawing near,
But the warning brings on no fear.
7:48 AM, The general gives commands, the signal is sent,
The attack is to begin, with terrible intent.
7:55 AM, The fist bombs fly out of the sky,
People on the ships erupt with a cry.
8:10 AM, The USS Arizona is directly hit with a blow,
An explosion of fire is left, sinking down below.
8:50 AM, A second wave forms through the smoke,
The water all around, begins to look like coke.
9:45 AM, The assault comes to an end, the damage is done,
The fleet is no more, sinking beneath the sun.
2403 Dead, 1178 Wounded
The bloodbath had finally been concluded.
