A silence broadcast itself
through the stunned onlookers.
Never had they been witness
to such a tragic circumstance.
Men cried,
women hid the dazed
and innocent eyes
and ears of their children.
With the future now in question,
all they could do
was sadly stumble
through their suddenly shaken lives.
The NFL was on strike.
