ColumbiaFeb 11, 2003 Write an essay on this topic.The Bottom Line It's been a very difficult couple of years for this country... I wrote this minutes after the horrible event unfolded on national television. It is the first and only draft. It was recently published in the local Philadelphia paper. I just cannot believe I've lived to see two shuttle disasters. Columbia The seven streaking through the sky lost contact with the world And not again since 86 has such tragedy unfurled Far above Texas a thick white tear dripped down the blue cheek of the sky as the brave seven streaked the heavens and bid the world goodbye Seven souls filled with hope braving space as dark as night, like energy, will never die but rule the day as purest light America, again, must heal As seven more course the stars above America the beautiful despite her many scars © 01 Feb 2003 Michael S.
