People stood peering over the silent water at the sunrise,
Little did they know what would soon happen,
Suddenly, Japanese planes were flying toward the harbor,
Many gasped and ran away from the shore,
For some it was too late,
All of a sudden, loud crashes and screams were heard,
Everyone hid and ducked under tables,
People went back outside and saw what had happened,
Ships were sinking and planes were on fire,
The people were sobbing and some were hurt, many were angry,
People weren't ready to go to war, but they did.
