The call
Its monotonous call
Summoned us all,
From slumber we shall wake.
An unknown man
Had just rang
With news that we must take.
I sensed their grief,
Felt no relief
AS the message was retold;
The lights were bright,
With a blinding sight,
The ending left me cold.
He's gone, He's dead,
Go back to bed,
All the while my tears unshed.

A very well done poem indeed. A poem about something we all know too well.

i tried to use a stlye where it was short and simple, which in a way added to my meaning. I had some intense emotions when i was writing this one.
